Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHunter Gregory is a Software Engineer III with 7 years building cloud-native networking and observability platforms, currently working on the API control plane for Google Compute Engine. Previously at Microsoft he designed and launched paid networking features for AKS, ran the control plane/operator work, and shipped a million-dollar network observability product that served hundreds of thousands of clusters and over a million VMs. He created and open-sourced Retina (3K stars) and Policy Assistant, led metric-driven design with Prometheus/Grafana integrations, and improved large-scale fault tolerance and performance across Linux and Windows datapaths. His Duke background in statistics and CS with an AI/ML concentration informs a data-first approach to monitoring, testing, and system design. Hunter combines hands-on backend and DevOps work with product-minded UX and operational readiness, and has a track record of turning complex network telemetry into actionable customer insights. An often-overlooked strength is his experience shipping both low-level performance optimizations and developer-facing tooling (CLIs and dashboards) that bridge engineering and operator workflows.
