Summary
Summer Wollin is an engineering manager at Grafana Labs with a decade of experience building cloud-native, microservices-driven systems across Go, Scala, Java, and Python. She combines hands-on technical depth in Kubernetes and multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) infrastructure with a people-first approach to creating high-performing, enjoyable teams. Her career path spans rapid-growth monitoring and observability products at VictorOps, Splunk, and Grafana, where she progressed from web and software engineer to senior individual contributor and now manager. Summer’s early curiosity — learning to program on 6502 assembly — signals a long-standing appetite for low-level problem solving that still informs her pragmatic design and debugging style. Based in the Denver metro area, she pairs formal training in full‑stack engineering with a background in environmental studies, giving her an unusual blend of technical rigor and systems-thinking perspective.
