Simon Frid is an engineering manager and infrastructure leader with 14 years of experience building reliable, high-scale financial and platform systems. Currently at Gauntlet he owns development and operation of Aera, a vault infrastructure protocol supporting multi-billion dollar financial workflows, after leading infrastructure through rapid growth as Head of Infrastructure. He blends hands-on systems engineering and devops with product-focused team leadership, having founded R2 and built enterprise legal/compliance platforms used by major banks. As principal at Fridiculous Ventures he advises on software strategy and production architecture across industries, drawing on a background that spans data science, cloud architecture, and embedded hardware startups. Trained as a biological engineer (Cornell M.Eng.), he brings a data-driven, experimental mindset to infrastructure reliability and delivery. Colleagues describe him as an open-minded technology evangelist who empowers teams while keeping a coder’s curiosity—he’s equally comfortable digging into production tooling or modeling complex systems.
