Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNati Cohen is a seasoned Linux and open-source specialist with 11 years of experience designing and operating cloud-native infrastructure, now focused on compute architecture at AWS. He blends hands-on software engineering, production engineering leadership, and security research to help teams run resilient, scalable microservices across AWS using IaC, containers, and immutable image pipelines. At HERE and SimilarWeb he built production engineering practices—hiring, onboarding, observability and blameless postmortems—that improved operational maturity across multiple teams. His contributions to workshops like rubber-docker show a knack for demystifying low-level container primitives (chroot, pivot_root, namespaces) and automating reproducible environments. Based in the Netherlands with MSc/BS in Computer Science, he’s equally comfortable authoring Terraform, Packer and CI code or diving into kernel-level container behaviors.
