Steven Lumos
Summary
👤
SeniorSteven Lumos is a Staff Platform Engineer based in California with roughly eight years in senior platform, data, and DevOps roles and a much longer practical history in systems engineering. He has led high-throughput, customer-facing platforms at Salesforce and Microsoft—operating services at ~200k RPS and building orchestration and data-pipeline systems used by thousands of internal users. Comfortable across Java/Scala/Python, Kafka, Kubernetes, Terraform, and monitoring stacks, he blends software engineering with systems administration to reliably ship and operate complex distributed systems. An academic-minded problem solver, he pairs obsessive learning with fanatical customer focus and has a track record of turning brittle integrations and legacy infra into scalable, observable services. Despite the senior title, he stays hands-on—often implementing custom monitoring, deployment automation, and packaging where off-the-shelf tools fall short.
