Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKevin Dorosh is a backend and DevOps-focused software engineer with 11 years building cloud-native infrastructure, service mesh, and progressive delivery tooling from Boston. As a technical lead at solo.io and contributor to high-profile open-source projects like Istio and FluxCD (implementing Gloo Edge canary/A-B integrations), he blends deep Java and Go experience with practical DevOps skills in Helm, Kubernetes, and CI/test infrastructure. Kevin prefers working on engineering infrastructure and automation over front-end work, and has a track record of improving observability, deployment pipelines, and reliability at companies including HubSpot and Anchorage Digital. He enjoys full-stack tinkering—from Arduinos to mobile—and brings a collaborative, autonomy-friendly approach informed by years of on-call and production experience. Outside of work he competes in recreational soccer leagues, volunteers at his church, and still answers to the high-school nickname “KevBot,” a nod to his methodical problem-solving.
