Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRyan Wallner is a senior technical marketing engineer with 13 years of deep hands-on experience designing and advocating for Kubernetes, container storage, and cloud-native multi-tenant architectures. Based in Boston, he blends developer-facing advocacy with engineering rigor from roles at Portworx/Pure Storage, Dell Technologies, and EMC, and co-founded the Kubernetes Bytes podcast to make complex topics approachable. He’s led technical marketing and developer advocacy for container storage modules and scale-out storage like ScaleIO and PowerScale, while also contributing as a Data on Kubernetes ambassador and CNCF program committee member. Known for shipping practical integrations and developer tooling, Ryan pairs low-level systems knowledge (network virtualization, OpenStack, Docker) with clear technical storytelling to drive adoption. An uncommon strength is his track record of bridging R&D/CTO labs and real-world production deployments, turning research prototypes into customer-ready cloud-native solutions.
