Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Smereka is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud platforms, embedded systems, and user-facing web applications from Portland, Oregon. Currently at Invitae he built a developer-friendly Cloud Platform and automation tooling that cut onboarding from weeks to minutes, enabling 300+ engineers to focus on domain work rather than infrastructure. He co-founded Oak Labs and has led engineering teams as CTO and Principal Engineer, delivering solutions that range from vehicle diagnostics with graph-theory-driven fault detection to virtual gaming and scheduling systems. His background spans full-stack Node.js and Python services, Kubernetes automation, Terraform/Ansible, embedded C, and Android development, and he’s listed as inventor or co-inventor on multiple patents from his automotive work. Known for wearing many hats, he turns failing projects around by simplifying systems and reducing team burnout while restoring delivery velocity. Outside of work he sums up his approach simply as “I flip the bits,” reflecting a hands-on love of learning and problem solving.
