Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRod Morison is a Principal Architect with 20+ years of engineering leadership and a decade focused on modern cloud-native systems, driving migrations from monoliths to microservices and building resilient platforms for regulated finance. He combines hands‑on expertise in Python, Go, and Postgres with strategic leadership—designing AWS-based architectures (EKS, Lambda, RDS), GitOps/IaC pipelines, and data platforms that enable ML-driven insights and automated reporting. Rod has a track record of rebuilding teams and practices—creating Principal Engineer career paths, OKR-driven roadmaps, and architecture review processes that improve delivery and compliance. His background spans startups to enterprise, from CTO roles building ML analytics to low-level network and real‑time systems work, giving him rare depth across systems, data, and product. Based in Altadena, CA and Caltech‑trained in applied math, he’s as comfortable tuning TCP congestion windows as he is architecting fraud detection and service‑mesh ecosystems.
