Top SchoolThomas Mckay is a Principal Software Engineer with 15 years of experience leading cloud-native and full-stack projects at Red Hat, where he has driven work on Quay and earlier Foreman/Katello efforts. He combines deep systems and GUI engineering roots—from C/C++ graphical tools for chip design to Java and Swing GUI work—with modern Python, Node, React, and Docker-based cloud platforms. As an engineer-turned-team-lead he ships production services, mentors teams, and bridges legacy enterprise systems with containerized workflows. A serial founder and early product builder, he also launched consumer-facing social apps and has broad hands-on experience across mobile, web, and backend stacks. Based in Cazenovia, NY, he uniquely pairs low-level performance sensibilities with current cloud and AI-era toolchains, and has a long history of moving projects from specification through sustained support.
