Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRick Boss is a Staff Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems, specializing in GCP, Kubernetes, and real-time data pipelines. He builds at the intersection of infrastructure and product, most recently architecting a greenfield AI production platform that separates API concerns from AI execution and runs on multi-service GitOps-driven Kubernetes. Previously he led LoRA training and GPU infrastructure efforts at Civitai, contributing backend work that handled training webhooks, job retries, and history tracking for a prominent model repository. At DoiT he earned a reputation for finding the single misconfiguration or metric that others missed, delivering measurable cost and reliability improvements across thousands of customers. He gravitates toward hard engineering problems that make complex AI systems fast, reliable, and directly useful to end users, and brings hands-on full-stack delivery experience from low-level GPU orchestration to product-facing features. Based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, he blends deep infrastructure craft with a pragmatic product mindset and a knack for operationalizing cutting-edge generative AI.
