Greg Stengel
Operator. Builder. Lifer.
Currently shipping software with AI, mostly so the AI doesn't ship without me.
The seam where cloud meets agents.
Day to day that’s Claude Code in one window, Codex in another, Cursor when I want a second opinion, and Paperclip keeping the agents honest.
Twenty-five years of operating real systems turns out to be useful when you’re deciding which of three AI suggestions actually wouldn’t take prod down.
About 25 years of production infrastructure.
A long Splunk run rolled into a long AWS run rolled into observability, FinOps, platforms, and the leadership that quietly attaches itself to all of that.
Currently at Unchained. The titles get longer over time; the job mostly stays the same — figure out what’s about to break, and either prevent it or be useful when it does.
This isn’t a resume. Resumes are CSVs of obligations.
What’s actually in daily rotation.
