Raymond Ho is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building backend systems and developer-focused infrastructure from startups to HashiCorp. He has shipped production services across cloud-native stacks—most recently contributing to HashiCorp Vault by fixing AWS auth bugs and adding multi-region STS support for more flexible credentialing. Prior roles include building decentralized exchange components at SundaeSwap Labs and leading feature-flag automation and workflow tooling at LaunchDarkly, demonstrating a knack for reliable rollout and automation systems. Raymond favors pragmatic domain-driven design, event-driven architectures, and measurable operational improvements (e.g., cutting access provisioning from weeks to seconds). Based in Oakland, he blends hands-on coding with systems thinking and a bias toward shipping secure, auditable infrastructure.
