Summary
Jeff Vogt is a Principal Customer Engineer based in Seattle with 11 years of experience designing and deploying cloud-native, highly available systems for enterprises and startups. He’s held progressive technical leadership roles—from founding and scaling VOIP and e-commerce platforms to senior architecture and field CTO positions at Lacework—bringing practical expertise in infrastructure automation, DevOps, and security for large-revenue products. Jeff excels at translating complex requirements into operational systems using tools like Puppet, Jenkins, CloudFormation and AWS, and has a track record of driving datacenter-to-cloud migrations and scalable production builds. Known for blending hands-on engineering with customer-facing strategy, he helps technical teams adopt repeatable, resilient architectures while keeping an eye on product and business outcomes. Unobvious but telling: he’s as comfortable iterating on a startup MVP or cookie-recipe conversation as he is running large-scale load tests and scaling distributed services.
