About Robert Hafner

I have been working at the intersection of software and infrastructure since 2005. During that time I have witnessed first hand the industry evolution from individual bash scripts to configuration management up to infrastructure as code. I’ve worked on projects ranging from high availability sites, large data analytics (with 30+ million daily clients), to large scale gpu clustering and machine learning model hosting- all while maintaining high security and availability.In addition to my direct industry experience I have also authored literally dozens of open source projects, with the most popular libraries having more than 20 million combined installations. Programming is not just a profession but a passion, so I spend much of my time learning and programming personal projects.Specialties: Development Processes Software Architecture Distributed Systems Project Management Security and Compliance Systems Vendor Relations and Negotiations Cat Herding
