Steve Traugott has been building NoM infrastructure since 2016, and has been involved in the open-source and maker communities for decades. With a career spanning from non-profits to USAF special operations to head of trading floor engineering for a major international bank, Steve's been coding for 47 years, on everything from supercomputers to CPUs built out of discrete components. He helped port UNIX to the IBM mainframe family, and worked with WTC survivors in their recovery from the 2001 attacks. While at NASA, he built a supercomputing cluster running exoplanet search and protein-folding genetic algorithms investigating Multiple Sclerosis. His infrastructures.org initiative 25 years ago helped pioneer the "infrastructure as code" movement in computing that became a foundation of DevOps.
Steve and his family today run an innovation space in Livermore, California, serving the national labs, physics, science, and astronomy communities, US aerospace launch providers, and the global energy supply chain. Things their shop has made are on the International Space Station, likely helped maintain an aircraft you've flown in, and may have even helped ensure your home has power today.
