Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Gummelt is a Staff Production Engineer and founder with 12 years of experience building distributed systems, low-code tooling, and large-scale infrastructure. He founded Plato, a Typescript-based low-code platform that raised $2.3M and closed multiple five-figure deals, and has deep production experience migrating thousands of services and hosts at scale. His open-source contributions to Apache Spark’s Mesos integration reflect hands-on expertise in containerization, networking (CNI), and deployment infrastructure for clusters of 1,000+ nodes. At X he led a team to automate a company-wide CentOS migration and improve container scheduling performance, and he now applies that operational rigor at Meta. Combining product instincts from founding startups with systems-level engineering, he’s comfortable shipping both developer-facing platforms and mission-critical backend infrastructure.
