Maria Prinus is a Technical Release Manager based in the Bay Area who transforms high-stress, unpredictable launches into reliable, repeatable release programs for thousands of engineers. With 15+ years of delivery experience across roles at MongoDB, Evernote, and EPAM, she has driven over 200 challenging releases, significantly reduced rollback rates, and scaled CI/CD and automation practices using Python and pipeline-level fixes. She combines executive-facing program leadership with hands-on pipeline work—owning planning through post-mortems, risk mitigation, and incident response—so nothing slips through the cracks. Known for making release management “boring” and dependable, she also mentors teams, builds onboarding processes, and embeds measurable KPIs that improve velocity and quality. An early career software engineer with a master’s in computer engineering, she uniquely blends deep technical fluency in microservices and tooling with pragmatic org-wide strategy.
