Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Carlson is a Security Engineering Tech Lead with 11 years of full-stack and platform experience, currently leading backend security efforts for Cisco's Office of the CTO. He blends deep web-development roots (building sites since age 11) with strong cloud-native and DevOps expertise—Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Terraform, and CI/CD automation are core to his toolkit. Tim has delivered production systems across AWS, Azure, and GCP and maintains broad datastack experience from MySQL to ClickHouse and Elasticsearch. Comfortable in TypeScript/Node, Python and Rust, he focuses on making industry-standard technologies accessible to product teams while keeping developer experience and observability front and center. Colleagues value his lighthearted but disciplined approach to shipping secure, scalable systems and his habit of keeping a “buzzword graveyard” that signals pragmatic choices over fads.
