Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Scattergood is a Distinguished Engineer with 11 years of focused experience designing and delivering cloud-native platforms and resilient products that scale across millions of users. At Autodesk he has led architecture teams responsible for identity, licensing, and a large data platform while defining standards for cloud services, inner-source projects, and infrastructure-as-code. His background spans end-to-end systems engineering—from high-performance API front-ends and serverless microservices to legacy migrations and real-time optimization engines for global logistics. He previously built architecture practices and CI/CD tooling that measurably reduced technical debt and operational costs, and his early career work on high-throughput terminal operating systems and yard optimization algorithms shows a deep grounding in performance and algorithmic problem solving. Based in Walnut Creek, CA, he combines pragmatic engineering leadership with a nautical-trained discipline from a BS in Maritime Operations and Technology, an uncommon grounding that informs his systems-level thinking.
