Top SchoolKevin Carpenter is a Staff Platform Engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native systems, currently helping customers integrate into Moderne’s platform from his base in Buenos Aires.

An active open-source contributor, Kevin has made significant UI and backend contributions to Spinnaker (deck and clouddriver) improving Azure provider support, and has helped harden OpenRewrite’s automated refactoring tools. He’s comfortable across the stack—front-end, backend, cloud infra—and brings practical expertise in Azure resource management, load balancers, and automated code transformations. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, he pairs technical depth with an aptitude for mentoring and customer collaboration. Notably, he thrives at the intersection of shipping code and directly helping users adopt complex platform solutions.
