Summary
🤩
RockstarJoe Duffy is a seasoned software leader and founder with over a decade of experience building developer tools, languages, and cloud infrastructure. As Founder and CEO of Pulumi, he leads the company that reimagines Infrastructure as Code by enabling teams to use general-purpose programming languages to define cloud resources. His background includes founding and leading compiler, language, and developer platform efforts at Microsoft, where he helped open-source .NET and invented core .NET parallelism technologies. Hands-on across the stack, he contributes to Pulumi’s open-source repos—driving gRPC/resource provider design and AWS integrations—and improves docs and demos to make complex cloud patterns accessible. Based in Seattle, he blends deep systems and language design expertise with product instincts and a coder’s work ethic. A less obvious thread through his career is repeatedly turning research-grade language and runtime ideas into production products used by large developer communities.
