Senior🎓
Top SchoolMat Lowery is a senior backend and platform engineer with 12 years of experience building and operating large-scale, production-critical infrastructure. Based in Colorado, he specializes in Kubernetes, distributed control planes, and developer productivity—owning federation controllers that sync tens of thousands of objects across 100+ clusters and leading upgrades for global container registries. At eBay he tuned CoreDNS (contributing upstream) to dramatically reduce query load and resource use, onboarded SREs to stabilize Kubernetes apiserver/etcd, and balanced API Priority & Fairness for apiserver safety. Earlier work includes delivering database-as-a-service using OpenStack Trove—where he improved backup/restore, refactored core services, and raised test coverage—and practical HA solutions for private OpenStack and VM failover. He combines hands-on systems tuning with strong written remote collaboration and mentoring, and has a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Central Florida. A pragmatic open-source contributor, he applies test-focused refactoring and automation to make large, complex platforms reliably operable.
