Top SchoolKevin Wilson is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience designing and delivering reliable distributed systems, currently building at Kong in San Antonio. He specializes in Erlang and Typescript with strong operational chops across Postgres, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Linux, Terraform, Kubernetes, and containers. Kevin has led backend and gaming teams, architected full-featured APIs for transaction-heavy products, and implemented queue-based scheduling and background processing at Long Game.
