Richard Marshall is a Solutions Architect with 16 years of experience designing and operating large-scale cloud and Kubernetes-based platforms from IaaS roots to cloud-native deployments. Based in Longview, WA, he blends hands-on engineering with architecture and performance analysis at Ask Media Group, where he progressed from infrastructure engineer to solutions architect. A pragmatic contributor to open source, he’s implemented CLI and transformer improvements in the kustomize project and added Android keyboard media handling in flutter-quill, signaling fluency across back-end, mobile, and infra concerns. Comfortable refactoring core tooling and writing tests, he focuses on reliable, auditable systems that scale while quietly preferring to think like a “gopher in the woods” — solving problems deliberately and independently.
