Senior🎓
Top SchoolRussell Duhon is a technical lead and seasoned software engineer with 14 years of experience applying information visualization, social network analysis, and machine learning to real-world problems. Currently leading a public cloud FinOps team for a client managing $1B+ in spend, he blends hands-on engineering, vendor and program management, and data engineering to drive cost and operational efficiencies. As a former CTO and co-founder, he rebuilt a “cowboy-coded” product into a modular, testable platform and steered a revenue-driving product pivot—skills he couples with strong DevOps and automated configuration management practices. His research background at Indiana University included large-scale data analysis and running the world’s largest Self Organizing Map on a top supercomputer, reflecting deep chops in scalable analytics and cyberinfrastructure. An author and expert in the Experience API, he advises organizations on xAPI implementations and developer processes, bridging academic insight with pragmatic product and engineering decisions. Based in Seattle, he’s equally comfortable presenting at international conferences and rolling up his sleeves to solve messy technical and organizational problems.
