Summary
Karim Kyler is a platform engineer with 11 years of backend-focused software experience and a strong track record of architecting Node.js/Express systems, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes-based video and microservice platforms. He blends hands-on implementation with leadership—driving technical decisions, mentoring teams, and maturing deployments from weekly to continuous delivery at scale. His toolkit centers on JavaScript/TypeScript but includes practical experience with Python, Ruby, Kotlin, and Go, plus infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and GitOps. Prior entrepreneurial experience (15 years) informs his customer-first mindset and operational rigor, from launching products to running day-to-day teams. Notably, he has built event-driven video processing pipelines with RabbitMQ and designed caching and job-matching systems that improved performance and experimentability. Based in San Francisco, Karim prefers roles that combine technical ownership with opportunities to learn new stacks and drive platform reliability.
