Top SchoolReuven Gonzales is an experienced engineer based in Portland, Oregon with 11 years building secure, user-focused software and infrastructure for startups and scale-ups. He has led architecture and operations work—from founding-engineer responsibilities at Virtru where he launched an encrypted email product and codified infrastructure-as-code, to multi-year engineering roles at Oasis Labs and Kariba Labs. Reuven blends full-stack JavaScript and Python development with hands-on AWS operations, CI/CD, monitoring, and security best practices, and has a track record of reducing costs while improving stability. He mentors and trains engineers, evangelizes test-driven development, and designs UX-driven architectures that balance usability with cryptographic rigor. Outside of work he composes music and contributes to open source, bringing a maker’s curiosity to both code and creative projects. His background in computer engineering and history of scaling teams from a handful to dozens shows he thrives where product, security, and pragmatic engineering intersect.
