Hello, I'm Taylor 👋

I'm the Head of Product Engineering & Chief of Staff at Merly AI, where I'm building the future of AI infrastructure. Based in sunny Los Angeles, I've spent my career making complex systems simple and helping teams ship amazing things.

What I Do

I wear two hats at Merly: I lead product engineering and serve as Chief of Staff. My focus is on developing infrastructure tools that foster innovation. Whether managing Kubernetes at scale, building AI systems, or enhancing developer experiences, I am dedicated to pushing boundaries and turning ambitious ideas into reality.

My Journey So Far

  • Currently: Head of Product Engineering & Chief of Staff at Merly AI - Building cutting-edge AI infrastructure
  • Previously: Head of Ecosystem at CNCF - Worked with 160+ companies including Apple, Intuit, and Mercedes-Benz
  • Before that: Lead SRE at Disney Studios - Kept the magic running behind the scenes

What Drives Me

🌊 Cloud Native: Still deeply passionate about Kubernetes and the cloud native ecosystem. I contribute to projects, speak at conferences, and love helping teams navigate their cloud journeys.

🤖 AI Infrastructure: Exploring the intersection of AI and infrastructure - how we build, deploy, and scale the systems that power tomorrow's intelligence.

📚 Learning: Always have a book in hand. Currently fascinated by psychology, systems thinking, and the occasional sci-fi novel that makes me question everything.

Let's Connect

I love connecting with fellow builders, dreamers, and infrastructure nerds. Whether you want to chat about Kubernetes, AI, or the best hikes in LA.
