John Platt
CTO @ StormForge
John has a Ph.D. in Applied Maths and has spent most of his career building Machine Learning-powered products. Throughout his career, he constantly found himself using machine learning to solve infrastructure-related problems that he didn't want to toil with. The desire to automate mundane tasks combined with a desire to solve hard problems with maths is what led him to his current role as CTO of StormForge, which focuses on Kubernetes resource optimization.
