Hey! I’m Corban Mailloux. 👋🏼
In my professional life, I’m a staff engineer at VMware/Broadcom in Massachusetts where I build and maintain several components of our SaaS platforms. I’m particularly focused on scaling our data ingestion pipelines including one system running more than a million jobs per minute. I’ve been through 2 acquisitions in this role: CloudHealth Technologies was acquired by VMware in 2019 and then VMware was acquired by Broadcom in 2023.
I’m an alumnus of Rochester Institute of Technology where I majored in software engineering with a focus on computing security. I also minored in communications.
Outside of work, I enjoy home improvement projects, flying FPV drones, riding electric unicycles, and home automation. I’ve recently joined a band called Well Suited where you’ll see me playing saxophone plus occasional backing vocals and keys.
At home, I’m a new dad (!!) and I have two cats that I’ve trained to do various tricks including jumping through hoops, walking upright, and heeling by my side. You can find many of wonderful cat pictures on @theladies_sashaandmaya’s Instagram .
As you’ll see in my projects, I like to work on home automation projects and generally enjoy DIY electronics. I’m a big fan and occasional contributor to Home Assistant, an open-source, Python-based platform that integrates with just about everything. You can find my complete Home Assistant configuration on Github, with documentation of some of the major parts in the repo’s wiki.
I invite you to take a look at some of my previous project write-ups and to reach out on LinkedIn or email.
