Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMason Katz is an experienced architect and software engineer with nearly two decades designing distributed, networked, and cloud-native systems from embedded devices to large-scale cluster management. A co-founder of StackIQ and original author of the open-source Rocks Clusters toolkit, he has repeatedly turned academic research into production-grade automation for HPC and datacenter deployments. His recent work focuses on Go-based microservices, REST/gRPC APIs, and integrating storage backends like Ceph and S3 for snapshotting and private cloud management. At Teradata and SoftIron he led teams enabling Kubernetes and bare-metal deployments for machine learning workloads and re-architected core services for scale and operability. Early experience building GPS-synchronized weather sensors and lock-free MPI transports gives him a rare low-level systems perspective that informs pragmatic, performant architectural decisions. Based in San Diego, he blends hands-on development with strategic technical leadership across acquisitions and productization efforts.
