Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGregory Hanson is a software engineer with nine years of experience specializing in cloud-native networking and service mesh technologies. A core contributor to the widely used Istio project—where he implemented egress proxy support, extended HTTPS handling for external services, and tuned Envoy integrations—he also helped build proxy and route controllers from the ground up for Amalgam8. At solo.io he worked on Ambient data plane components in Rust and Go, produced observability tooling for Envoy/Istio access logs, and wrote about reducing service-mesh costs. He has driven cross-company collaboration with Google, Red Hat, and Lyft while delivering core Service Proxy capabilities at IBM and now applies that expertise at DeciSym.AI. His toolkit spans Go, Rust, Python, Java and cloud automation (OpenStack, Chef), combining low-level proxy engineering with API design and operational testing.
