Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKatie Schilling is a pragmatic engineering leader and developer-marketing head with 10+ years building developer platforms, distributed systems, and DevRel programs across startups and cloud-native companies. She blends hands-on Golang engineering—contributions to prominent open-source projects like Terraform and its Azure providers—with cross-functional GTM and DevRel leadership at HashiCorp, Fly.io, and now Tigris Data. Katie excels at dropping into unfamiliar domains, learning fast, and driving automation to remove the most painful processes while keeping solutions simple and user-focused. Her background ranges from FPGA research and neurophysics modeling to mobile UX and IoT prototyping, giving her a rare ability to translate domain complexity into developer-first tooling and docs. Based in Salida, Colorado, she pairs technical depth with a people-centered approach born from early work improving Chicago public school labs—she still enjoys baking, long-distance backpacking, and optimizing both recipes and pack weight.
