Matt Rutkowski, IBM
Matt Rutkowski, IBM CTO Serverless Technologies, is an STSM and Master Inventor at IBM and has worked to develop open infrastructure and industry standards along with open source for nearly 20 years. More recently, he has been working on Cloud Native technologies with focus on Serverless and is the proposer, PMC member, and Committer to the Apache OpenWhisk Serverless platform project.
