Chad Carlson manages the Developer Relations team at Platform.sh. Chad spent a large portion of his professional career in academia, where he worked primarily in vision science laboratories investigating how our visual systems detect motion, the relationship between eye movements, and where reinforcement learning fits into a larger evolutionary context of neuroscience. 

These days he can typically be found writing, cooking, or working on projects in Python, Node.js, Go, and whatever new language Platform.sh supports and wants another pair of eyes on. The DevRel team advocates for Platform.sh and Blackfire.io, builds and maintains a large fleet of example deployment code across programming languages and frameworks, and writes technical documentation and training resources.
