Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShaun Smith is a senior product leader with 18 years of experience driving developer-focused cloud and JVM technologies, currently heading product management for Oracle Lab’s GraalVM. He has a track record of bringing serverless and cloud services to market—leading Oracle Functions, Application Container Cloud, and three other cloud offerings—while actively contributing to open source as a past committer on EclipseLink and the Java Persistence API reference implementation. A hands-on architect and former software developer, Shaun blends deep technical expertise in JVM internals, AOT/native compilation, and enterprise Java frameworks with product strategy and developer relations. He’s a seasoned global speaker who’s presented at more than 60 conferences, and a subtle differentiator is his long-standing ability to translate low-level compiler/runtime innovations into pragmatic cloud-native products for microservices and containerized workloads.
