Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTravis Thompson is a software engineer with nine years of experience designing automation and reliability solutions for large-scale cloud and Kubernetes deployments. He’s worked on early Confluent Cloud infrastructure and later on iCloud at Apple, building control planes and software to manage thousands of k8s clusters using Go, gRPC, Protobuf, and Helm. Comfortable moving between SRE and software roles, he has deep hands-on experience with Hadoop-era infrastructure, configuration management, and datacenter builds, and now focuses on operationalizing enormous deployments with open source tooling. Based in San Francisco, he pairs pragmatic engineering with systems-level thinking and a proven track record of shipping automation that scales across global fleets. An understated tinkerer (GitHub bio: “Just a Person”), he tends to surface durable tooling solutions rather than flashy one-offs.
