About the Authors

John Chapin has over 15 years of experience as a technical executive and senior engineer. He was previously VP of Engineering, Core Services & Data Science at Intent Media, where he helped teams transform how they delivered business value through Serverless technology and Agile practices. Outside of Symphonia, he can be found running along the west side of Manhattan, surfing at Rockaway Beach, or planning his next trip abroad.

Mike Roberts is an engineering leader who has called New York City home since 2006. During his career he's been an engineer, a CTO, and other fun places in-between. Mike is a long-time proponent of Agile and DevOps values and is passionate about the role that cloud technologies have played in enabling such values for many high-functioning software teams. He sees Serverless as the next evolution of cloud systems and as such is excited about its ability to help teams, and their customers, be awesome.
