Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJ Wagner is a seasoned engineering leader with 11+ years in senior technical roles and a multi-decade career shaping networking, storage, and security platforms from Bell Labs to VMware and Juniper. He has led large teams through architectural transitions, built cloud-native control planes and DevOps stacks at startups, and served as the principal architect for security business units at major vendors. A hands-on principal engineer and former CTO, he blends low-level systems expertise (dating back to Unix and Irix kernel work) with modern Python production coding and AWS-based operations. He also contributes to open source security tooling, improving build processes and Python support for widely used Flask security libraries. Based in San Francisco, he now explores independent work while bringing rare institutional memory of enterprise infrastructure and practical experience shipping resilient, secure systems. Notably, his background spans both developer-facing cloud services and the kernel-level roots that inform robust architecture decisions.
