Summary
👤
SeniorSteven Eschinger is a seasoned CTO and co-founder with over 20 years of experience designing, modernizing, and operating cloud-native and enterprise infrastructure. Based in Tokyo, he has led large-scale cloud migrations, Kubernetes platform engineering, and DevOps transformations that delivered major cost savings and decommissioned legacy data centers in highly regulated environments. Steven blends hands-on technical execution—Terraform, EKS/Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Istio, Kafka—with strategic oversight to ensure systems are secure, scalable, and operable by real teams. He has a track record of replacing brittle CI/CD and legacy trading platforms with resilient, event-driven, cloud-native architectures and practical AI-driven engineering workflows. Notably, he moves between board-level cloud strategy and the command line, prioritizing solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes rather than theoretical elegance.
