Hello! My name is John McBride. I'm the Co-founder & CTO at a stealth startup.

In the past, I've worked at Zuplo, The Linux Foundation, OpenSauced, AWS, VMware, & Pivotal Cloud Foundry. I've worked on open source software, observability & SRE tooling, edge-gateways, Kubernetes, Linux based operating systems, early AI and agentic technologies, and cloud software.

This site is my personal landing page and blog. You'll find all kinds of stuff here: things about tech, short stories, long-form essays, photos, music, videos, ramblings on philosophy, and really, whatever I want (it's my website after all).

All opinions and views herein are my own opinions and do not reflect those of any employer (past, present, future, or inter-dimensional).
