Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTaylor Peterson is a senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building developer tooling, CI/CD, and robotics infrastructure, currently shaping engineering productivity at Metropolis Technologies. At Amazon Prime Air he founded and led a small tooling team that cut deployment cycles from weeks to hours, re-architected build farms for dramatic cost and reliability gains, and scaled developer onboarding across hardware teams. A Harvey Mudd graduate with deep hands-on systems skills (Python, C++, AWS, Docker, ROS), he pairs low-level robotics insight with cloud-native practices to accelerate hardware-software integration. Unusually, his career includes multi-year stints as a mountaineering instructor, senior ski patroller, and rescue trainer—roles where he led technical rescues, taught complex skills, and built expedition software that eliminated equipment issues. That blend of high-stakes field leadership and infrastructure engineering makes him a strong fit for engineering productivity, edtech, or outdoor-recreation product roles where reliability and user onboarding matter.
