Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAaron Borden is a Sr. Staff Software Engineer with 16 years of experience building cloud-native, full-stack platforms and developer infrastructure, currently driving CI/CD and Kubernetes at Rivian to support 600+ developers and 100k+ daily CI jobs. He combines hands-on engineering—migrating a large firmware monorepo to GitLab and Bazel with remote execution and caching—with platform design that emphasizes scalability, cost efficiency, and measurable SLAs/SLOs. His background spans federal and commercial roles where he led multi-team cloud migrations, introduced TDD and SRE practices, and automated releases to cut deploy times from hours to minutes. Known as a pragmatic tinkerer (“human and hacker”), he pairs deep infrastructure expertise (Crossplane, Helm, Python) with a knack for operationalizing developer experience at scale.
