👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Fitzgerald is a Principal Software Engineer and founder with nine years in cloud-native and full-stack development, currently leading engineering efforts at GRVTY while running his consulting firm, Zen Programming. He brings deep Kubernetes and container expertise from roles at Microsoft (AKS) and AWS, and a strong MEAN-stack/Java background applied to production-grade systems and SRE practices. A former Army Captain and Russian studies major, he combines operational leadership—managing teams from 10 to 250—with language skills and intelligence tradecraft, holding an active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph. His technical toolkit spans Go, Java, Python, TypeScript, Helm, Prometheus and k8s tooling, and he’s equally comfortable architecting cloud services and rolling up his sleeves to implement them. Based in Northern Virginia, he balances an entrepreneurial mindset with disciplined, mission-focused delivery and a knack for translating complex security requirements into resilient software.
