About Nick Hudson

Staff-level software and infrastructure engineer with 15+ years of experience designing, building, and supporting systems that improve developer workflows, infrastructure reliability, and organizational velocity. I’ve worked across industries—from healthcare and public safety to developer tools and logistics—building internal platforms, CI/CD tooling, and cloud-native systems that help engineering teams ship efficiently and with confidence.My recent focus has been on developer platforms and internal tooling: designing Kubernetes-based infrastructure, improving observability pipelines, and automating service deployment and configuration using Terraform, Helm, and GitOps practices. I’m comfortable contributing in Go and Rust, and have supported platforms running on AWS, EKS, and PostgreSQL at scale.In prior roles, I’ve served as both an individual contributor and informal technical lead, helping teams adopt infrastructure-as-code practices, improve reliability, and streamline service onboarding. I’ve worked in fast-paced environments like Shipt and Timescale, supported production databases and customer-facing systems, and contributed to open-source and CNCF-aligned initiatives.
