Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoey S is a senior full-stack and DevOps engineer with 12 years of experience building cloud-native platforms and developer tooling, now at Shopify after leading platform engineering at Capital One. He specializes in infrastructure-as-code, Kubernetes, Go, Rust, and modern front-end stacks like React/Angular and TypeScript, routinely shipping production systems that blend backend performance with polished UIs. Joey has a track record of architecting scalable deployment systems—from a game-server autoscaler at a startup to “Spinnaker as a Service” for Comcast—and enjoys automating complex operational workflows. Pragmatic and product-focused, he combines hands-on coding with platform leadership to reduce cognitive load for teams and accelerate delivery. He’s also a tinkerer who publishes small utility projects (like a public Wordle solver) that reveal a playful curiosity about algorithms and UX. Based in Herndon, VA, Joey balances enterprise-grade rigor with startup agility to deliver reliable, extensible systems.
