Top SchoolWill O'Brien is a Principal Consultant and founder with 13 years of experience designing resilient cloud-native systems and guiding teams through scaling and infrastructure complexity. He combines a software-engineer’s craft with an operations-first mindset, specializing in infrastructure-as-code and architectures on AWS and GCP. Will favors simple, well-defined boundaries to avoid unbounded complexity and spends his time equipping teams to anticipate and prevent production breakage rather than firefighting. A Colby-educated tinkerer who started by repurposing hardware as dorm-room Linux servers, he brings deep curiosity across operations research, experiment design, and systems thinking that informs pragmatic technical decisions. Based in Boston, he enjoys collaborating with practitioners who know their tools deeply and treats every project as an opportunity to learn better cuts.
