Summary
Spencer Wilson is a Senior Systems Engineer with a decade of experience designing and hardening distributed systems and network routing at scale, currently improving Cloudflare’s Argo Smart Routing and Orpheus. He prefers systems-level work—operating systems, performance, reverse engineering, and formal methods like TLA+—and enjoys writing clear docs and debugging as much as code. His background spans fast-moving startups and reliability-focused roles where he built novel data packaging at Patch (including a Rust CLI), optimized test and deployment pipelines at Optimizely, and implemented production migrations and SRE practices at Uptrust. Known for prototyping pragmatic solutions and translating customer needs into reproducible systems, he blends research-minded engineering with production rigor in the Bay Area.
