Summary
Kyle O'connor is a Principal Software Engineer with nearly 15 years of hands-on experience building cloud infrastructure, backend services, and embedded systems across startups and R&D organizations. He has led teams and launched production-grade products—from a multi-tenant AWS biometric platform and low-level Linux kernel drivers to a streamed Chromium-based browser ported to Windows and Apple Silicon. Known for unblocking teams and bringing technical leadership, he blends deep systems-level expertise (embedded C/C++, kernel work, secure boot) with modern cloud practices (Terraform, GitHub Actions, IaC). Based in Philadelphia, he pairs rigorous attention to detail with a knack for shipping pragmatic, secure solutions and even enjoys translating that persistence to following and attending soccer matches.
