Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarc Barry is a principal infrastructure and platform engineer with over two decades of experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems, cloud platforms, and edge networking. He blends deep telecommunications and carrier-network roots with modern cloud-native practices—bringing rare expertise in traffic engineering, DDoS mitigation, and BGP-style signal integration into Kubernetes- and observability-driven platforms. As a principal engineer and former CTO/co-founder, he has led architecture and reliability efforts at companies including Shopify, DigitalOcean, Auth0, Instacart, and NetBox Labs, and repeatedly focused on building infrastructure that “disappears” by default through resilience and automation. He is comfortable moving between hands-on implementation and strategic platform design, with a track record of shipping secure, compliant cloud foundations and developer-facing tooling. Based in Ottawa, Marc is particularly interested in the evolving intersection of networking and cloud—applying carrier-scale thinking to modern service meshes, edge routing, and platform observability.
