John Dilley is a seasoned technology leader and consultant with over 20 years designing and operating global-scale distributed systems and cloud platforms. As former Chief Product Architect at Akamai and Chief Architect at Rafay, he blends product vision with deep engineering expertise in edge computing, content delivery, and cloud security. He now runs JADe Systems, advising on application security, M&A diligence, and pragmatic cloud/edge architectures for startups and enterprises. John has a track record of creating roles and teams that scale—he originated Akamai’s Product Architect role and led integrations of acquired technologies. Based in Los Altos, he pairs research-rooted protocol experience from HP Labs with hands-on product delivery, making him equally comfortable in a whiteboard design session or in post-mortem log analysis. He is available for consultations that require both strategic roadmap thinking and detailed technical due diligence.
