Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Caballero is a Principal Engineer and founder with 13 years building scalable, cloud-native and edge platforms, currently leading AI-focused tooling and integrations at XplorTech. He combines hands-on systems work—Terraform, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Prometheus, ElasticSearch—and multi-cloud deployments with a keen focus on practical AI value beyond hype. Comfortable from bastion-hosts to bytecode VMs, he has a proven knack for low-level problem solving, having built a Go chess engine, a Pratt-parser-based interpreter later rewritten as a VM, Voronoi and Tetris implementations, and natural color blending algorithms. His background spans full-stack and platform roles at Section and LogRhythm, shipping microservices and global observability pipelines across Equinix Metal, AWS, GCP, and DigitalOcean. Based in Broomfield, Colorado, he prefers the command line, writes production-grade code in languages from Go to Ruby and Python, and treats engineering as both craft and curiosity-driven play.
