Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKaoru Kohashigawa is a Principal DevOps Engineer based in California with 12 years of experience designing and operating distributed systems, developer tooling, and data pipelines. He has driven increased deployment frequency, reduced MTTR, and enabled isolated developer environments using technologies like Bazel, Pulumi, Ansible, Kafka, and AWS. At Tally and Sift he implemented observability, distributed tracing, and benchmarking frameworks that improved stability and cut operating costs, and at Binti he moved from prototype to production to win contracts and scale the company. Colleagues value his blend of technical depth, sense of urgency, and empathetic mentorship—he routinely coaches engineers on observability and best practices. He prefers building simple, performant, and maintainable systems that help mission-driven organizations, and—when not telling computers what to do—he makes sushi disappear.
