Senior🎓
Top SchoolKent Rogers is a retired software engineer with 16 years of enterprise-focused experience building and streamlining development toolchains, especially around source control, issue tracking, and Atlassian on-prem deployments. He led cross-functional teams at Veritas and Cray to design, migrate, and integrate tooling ecosystems (Subversion, Bugzilla, Jira, Bitbucket, Confluence) into large-scale hardware and software development workflows.

His career spans deep systems and testing work on supercomputer platforms through modern DevOps toolsets, reflecting an ability to bridge low-level system testing and high-level developer experience.
