Senior🎓
Top SchoolKyle Robertson is a Software Engineer III in Detroit with a decade of experience building reliable, observable systems and incident response tooling at scale. At GitHub he led SLO standardization, built pipelines that surface post-mortem and availability metrics, and helped drive distributed tracing adoption to map service dependencies and ownership. His background spans SRE and backend work at Rocket Mortgage and Quicken Loans, where he focused on CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and operationalizing cloud services. An active open-source contributor, he improved Terratest’s Terraform variable extraction and testing—helping make infrastructure code safer and easier to validate. He pairs hands-on coding with incident command experience and training design (gamedays and responder programs), blending technical depth with an emphasis on human-centered reliability. Outside work he has a playful streak—his GitHub bio hints he values velocity, whether in code or on the road.
