Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTony Edgin is a Senior Software Engineer and Product Owner with over 20 years of experience designing and running petabyte-scale research data systems, currently overseeing the CyVerse Data Store at the University of Arizona. He combines deep applied mathematics and physics training with hands-on expertise in distributed storage (iRODS), DevOps, and high-throughput telemetry systems to keep large, research-facing infrastructures reliable and performant. Tony has driven features adopted across the iRODS community, built community-facing admin tools, and implemented incremental search and messaging pipelines that others replicated. He excels at leading small engineering teams, mentoring students, and translating complex scientific requirements into durable, production-grade tooling. Based in Tucson, he’s equally comfortable optimizing backend storage policies and stepping into low-level C/C++ problems—an engineer who still gets under the hood to solve the core technical challenges researchers depend on.
