Top SchoolLyle Franklin is a generalist software engineer with 13 years of experience specializing in distributed systems, release engineering, and automation, currently building infrastructure at Google from New York. He has deep hands-on experience deploying and hardening Cloud Foundry and BOSH across AWS, GCP, vSphere and Azure, including creating a Google CPI and streamlining deployment pipelines that cut configuration complexity dramatically. Lyle blends backend systems work in Go and Ruby with operational automation—shipping CI-driven, self-service tooling that saved developer hours across large teams. He’s an active open-source contributor to foundational Cloud Foundry projects (BOSH, CAPI, CLI) and a former technical writer who improves usability through clear docs and examples. A former Extreme Blue intern and academic researcher, he pairs top-tier academic training with practical delivery, and quietly excels at reducing operational friction at scale.
