Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolJos Boumans is an accomplished technology executive with 13+ years of experience building and operating internet-scale systems, currently serving as SVP Technology at Spectrum Labs. He combines deep hands-on engineering—authoring ~40 Perl modules and contributing to core Perl—with senior leadership roles at Salesforce, Krux, and Canonical where he designed and scaled systems handling billions of daily requests. Skilled across cloud-native AWS architectures, real-time distributed systems, big data, and performance engineering, he’s known for automating entire stacks for resilience, low latency and cost-efficiency. A pragmatic operator who learned by building from scratch, he brings both strategic vision and the willingness to "dabble in whatever is needed" to deliver results. Based in San Francisco and originally from the Netherlands, he quietly influences core internet architecture through longstanding open-source contributions to Perl and CPAN.
