Top SchoolScott Sullivan is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building and operating cloud and hosting platforms, bringing deep expertise across GNU/Linux, KVM/XEN, libvirt, and Kubernetes. Comfortable as both hands-on engineer and technical lead, he programs fluently in Go, Ruby, Perl, Python, C, Java and shell while rapidly picking up new languages and paradigms.
