Niall Richard Murphy has worked in computing infrastructure since the mid-1990s and has been employed by every major cloud provider (specifically, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft) from their Dublin, Ireland, offices in a variety of roles, from IC to director. Following a leadership role in the AI/ML/reliability space and an entrepreneur-in-residence position, he is now a Distinguished Engineer at Ciroos and a board member for an investment syndicate. He is the instigator, coauthor, and editor of multiple award-winning books on networking, reliability, and machine learning, and he is probably one of the few people in the world to hold degrees in computer science, mathematics, and poetry studies. He lives in Dublin with his wife and two children.
