Ian Stanton is a Staff Software Engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in Kubernetes, operators, and cloud-native SaaS platforms. He has a track record of building platform-grade systems—from founding-engineer work on a managed Postgres service and operator at Tembo to leading the Airflow Operator at Astronomer and driving Kubernetes adoption and internal developer platforms at Engine. Comfortable across CI/CD, multi-cloud deployments, and operator lifecycle automation, he blends hands-on engineering with mentoring and team leadership. Based in Sarasota, Florida, Ian often surfaces non-obvious operational improvements—like on-the-fly Postgres extension installation and running companion apps alongside databases—that simplify customer self-hosting and multi-tenant operations.
