Top SchoolNoa Resare is a Platform Engineer with 21 years of hands-on production and distributed-systems experience, currently building resilient infrastructure at PortSwigger after roles at Thought Machine, Goldman Sachs, Apple, Facebook and Spotify. Adept at scaling massively asynchronous message buses and private cloud/datacenter tooling, they bridge deep engineering with strategic stewardship of free software and licensing. A longtime conference presenter (Usenix LISA, ApacheCon, LinuxCon, DevOps Days), Noa combines SRE rigor with back-end development fluency—evident in open-source work such as adding ECC-GOST DNSSEC support to the dnsjava project. Comfortable leading teams as well as rolling up their sleeves on critical incidents, they bring a rare mix of legacy experience going back to 1997 and modern platform design.
