Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRichie Vos is an experienced software engineer with 18 years building scalable web and infrastructure systems, currently at Facebook after a long tenure leading platform and cloud migration efforts at Groupon. He blends hands-on engineering with architecture leadership—designing Kubernetes-based migrations, Terraform-driven AWS account/VPC/IAM layouts, and performance testing platforms while also shipping code. His background spans full-stack work from Ruby on Rails and ActionScript-era web apps to modern cloud-native services, and he’s contributed front-end improvements to the popular open-source reef-pi Raspberry Pi project. Comfortable moving between high-level strategy and debugging production issues, he’s particularly adept at turning complex migration and scalability problems into practical, measurable plans. Based in Chicago, he pairs academic CS training from UIUC with a track record of mentoring teams and driving cross-functional technical decisions.
