Summary
Taylor Manderson is a Senior Platform Engineer based in Queensland, Australia with 12 years of experience building cloud-native systems and data pipelines. Currently at Montu, Taylor has a strong track record migrating platforms to Kubernetes on AWS using Terraform and architecting secure ETL pipelines—most notably designing Cubiko’s Airflow-driven data pipeline with Snowflake and Cube.js. Comfortable across a polyglot stack (Clojure/ClojureScript, Python, TypeScript, Rust), Taylor blends hands-on full‑stack development with infrastructure and DevOps expertise. Prior roles include consulting on ML model deployments and optimization-focused systems at Max Kelsen and Polymathian, reflecting an ability to bridge research-grade math/ML work with production engineering. An early background tutoring and building automated assessment tooling at UQ and coaching competitive robotics hints at a practical, systems-oriented problem solver who values reproducible, testable solutions.
