Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTony De La Nuez is a Staff Software Engineer with nine years of experience building cloud-native platforms, platform security, and automation for high-scale companies like Discord, Airbnb, Twitter, and Atlassian. He has led PaaS and Kubernetes initiatives that turn multi-cluster complexity into one-click developer workflows, including a prompt-driven deploy platform and getting every service onto Backstage. Tony’s work blends deep security engineering—SBOMs, attestation, container hardening—and performance optimizations that have cut deployment times from minutes to seconds and improved image push/pull performance by 60%. He’s equally comfortable writing low-level controllers and CRDs as he is architecting multicloud compute and reusable worker systems that process millions of events weekly. Based in Austin, he pairs a strong academic background in computer engineering and CS with a practical, observability-first approach to reducing operational overhead and risk.
