Top SchoolIvan De Marino is a Staff Software Engineer with 16 years of experience building resilient backend systems, SDKs, and test automation across companies like Google, HashiCorp, New Relic and Snyk. He combines deep systems and DevOps expertise—Terraform provider tooling, Kafka platforms, SRE practices—with hands-on contributions to notable open-source projects such as PhantomJS/GhostDriver, Selenium and the Terraform Plugin SDK. Comfortable in polyglot environments (Go, Java, Python, Node.js) and cloud-native stacks (AWS, Kubernetes, Bazel, CI/CD), he often bridges engineering and QA to improve reliability and observability. A practical technical lead and mentor, Ivan has repeatedly driven cross-team delivery on telemetry and security-focused data backends. Off-hours he survives on too much coffee and life with two energetic boys, a detail that hints at both stamina and a pragmatic sense of humor.
