Background
My name is Tony Guntharp and I’m a fucking Texan. That’s right I’m from the best place on planet earth, the great state of Texas.
I also make things. Software or Hardware, it doesn’t
matter. I’m OCD, a Geek, a Homebrewer. Fan of Open Source, Linux, OSX and
Mobile. Purveyor of Craft Beer and Single Malt Scotches. Avid Motorcyclist
and Porsche 911 Owner.
I spent 10 years of my life jumping out of airplanes for the US Army doing high speed/low drag shit. Combat Veteran.
I’m also a conservationist and a hunter.
I was one of the Co-Founders of SourceForge.net.
I’ve been at Apple since early 2020. I spent a year working on making Siri more reliable but have since moved over to iCloud where I manage the SRE Team for Cloudkit. I also manage the remnants of the PIE-Solr team as well as the Content SRE and WorkFlows SRE teams. All of the teams are part of the iCloud Platform Organization inside of Apple.
Prior to that I was at Google for close to 6 years where I worked as the Site Reliability Manager for the Carrier-SRE-MTV team. Most of our focus was in the area of carrier related services including Rich Communication Services (RCS), SMS Aggregation and anything else related to mobile messaging.
I am (or was) a core developer/contributor for the following Open Source Projects:
