Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTaylor Frey is a Senior Software Engineer and Site Reliability-focused developer based in Colorado Springs with 10 years of experience building and operating backend systems, mobile clients, and cloud-native services. At Comcast he blends software development with infrastructure and systems administration to keep internal CDN services reliable and maintainable, and his open-source contributions to the widely used Apache Traffic Control project show hands-on expertise in CDN internals, schema migration, and invalidation workflows. Previously he delivered cross-platform mobile products, CI/CD pipelines, and microservices at Webroot and led native iOS/Android teams at a startup, giving him a rare mix of client-side, server-side, and release-management experience. Taylor pairs formal training (Master’s in Software Engineering) with pragmatic leadership—having managed teams, interviewed candidates, and run operations—and he’s comfortable moving from low-level bug fixes to designing backward-compatible API changes. An often-overlooked strength is his history in property management and vendor coordination, which informs a practical, stakeholder-focused approach to project delivery.
