Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoel Krauska is a Principal Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of systems and SRE depth, building everything from billion-user social networks to early-stage crypto testnets. He specializes in dependency mapping, observability, and migrating services to Go, gRPC and Kubernetes, most recently architecting LinkedIn’s microservice graph and large-scale instrumentation. As the first SRE at O(1) Labs he helped launch Mina, contributing CI/CD, performance testing and tooling for a widely noted constant-size blockchain, and his open-source DevOps work centers on build/release automation. Joel blends practical high-performance Linux and distributed-systems engineering with AI-first datacenter tooling, GIS/LiDAR projects, and live video streaming expertise, making him equally comfortable designing strategy or rolling up his sleeves to implement it.
