Rogger Vasquez is a Developer Experience Engineer with six years of software engineering experience, currently building rpk, a developer-first CLI for Redpanda’s high-performance streaming platform. He blends backend systems work—improving command-line tooling, argument handling, and linting pipelines—with front-end and developer-experience improvements from prior roles, giving him a rare full-stack devops perspective. His background includes optimizing high-traffic ticketing flows, migrating microfrontends to Fastly, and creating reproducible developer environments that reduced incidents during upgrades. Before software, he led manufacturing operations and process engineering at Procter & Gamble, which honed his focus on reliability, metrics and scalable processes. An active contributor to the Redpanda open-source repo, he focuses on usability and code quality for tools that sit close to the infrastructure itself. Based in Vancouver, he combines systems-level thinking with pragmatic UX attention to ship dependable developer tools.
