Top SchoolShawn Carey is a pragmatic software engineer with over two decades of experience in industrial and IoT domains, currently driving advanced development at NetFoundry from Rochester, NY. He specializes in end-to-end automation across the software lifecycle—build, test, deploy, operate and support—and has repeatedly improved CI/CD, cloud deployment and edge-agent tooling at companies like ThingWorx, Axeda and Questra. Shawn combines low-level C/C++ and image-processing roots with modern cloud-native practices (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes/Azure IoT Edge), making him fluent across embedded, backend and infrastructure layers. He’s an active contributor to OpenZiti’s ziti-tunnel work, adding multi-arch Docker builds, deployment examples and improved entrypoint automation—illustrating his penchant for practical, production-ready automation. Colleagues rely on him to connect disparate workflows so systems don’t just ship, they operate reliably at scale.
