🤩
RockstarSkip Baney is an engineering leader with roughly two decades of hands-on experience building and operating high-traffic web services, currently based in Austin, Texas. He has driven architecture and delivery improvements at companies including Realtor.com, Vox Media, Duo Security, and Apple, with deep expertise in migration strategies (blue-green deployments), service-oriented architectures, and automation tooling that accelerates new-service delivery.

He’s led teams and built production systems for video, search migrations, and anomaly-detection pipelines, and is known for simplifying release processes and deleting cruft as eagerly as he writes code.
