Top SchoolJordan Webb is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of deep Linux and embedded systems experience, currently leading platform work at Danger Devices after roles at GitHub, Seam, and other startups and consultancies.

Jordan combines hands-on kernel and systems plumbing knowledge with practical devops and CI across multiple cloud and hypervisor platforms, having migrated appliance OSes and containerized services at scale.
