Todd Blackman is a seasoned software engineer with over two decades of programming experience and a dozen years focused on professional roles, currently balancing DevOps and container work 50/50 with backend Ruby on Rails development. He designs and maintains medium-to-large web systems with an emphasis on test-driven development, maintainability, and developer productivity, and is highly comfortable in Linux and AWS environments using Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD tooling. Todd’s career spans hands-on backend engineering, system administration, data analysis and even machine learning and security tasks, reflecting a rare full-stack-to-infrastructure fluency. He has led teams and maintained multiple production Rails sites, and brings practical experience writing automation (Chef/Ansible) and optimizing databases and deployments so future engineers can move fast. Based in Brattleboro, VT, he pairs academic depth in computer engineering and computer science with an educator’s background, having taught university-level courses and created training materials—an indication of his clear, mentorship-minded approach to engineering.
