Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Raber is a Senior Principal Engineer specializing in global platform architecture with 12 years of cloud and systems engineering experience, currently shaping cloud solutions and automated operations at FICO. He blends hands-on implementation (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, GitOps) with strategic design—building global networks, DR-ready platforms, and automated deployment pipelines that prioritize cost, security, and reliability. As a former founder and longtime consultant, he has guided startups through Fortune 500 migrations to cloud-native architectures and routinely bridges people, process, and technology to create paved paths for developer and SRE teams. His background spans high-assurance systems (UAV command-and-control) to large-scale SaaS and analytics platforms, giving him a rare mix of operational rigor and product-driven engineering. Based in Longmont, Colorado, he pairs practical automation-first thinking with a penchant for network- and observability-focused solutions that reduce operational friction.
