Top SchoolTommy Nguyen is a Senior Manager in Production Engineering with 11 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native, Kubernetes-driven platforms across advertising, media, and e‑healthcare.

He pairs technical depth (CKA/CKAD, GCP/AWS experience) with cross-functional leadership, aligning SLO/SLI practices with product and business goals. Based in Costa Mesa, he brings a track record of scaling systems for millions of users while cutting costs and latency through targeted optimizations. An early adopter of cloud-native patterns, he quietly influences teams by codifying reliability, visibility, and usability as core engineering principles.
