Grant Griffiths

I’m a Gopher of 3 years working as a Senior Software Engineer at GE Digital. I’m very passionate about Go, running the Go User Group at GE. We have bi-weekly talks with anywhere from 50-200 Gophers depends on the topic, with internal and external speakers such as Daniel Whitenack, Wally Quevedo, Joe Beda, and soon Francesc Campoy. I’ve spoken at Gophercon UK and also locally in at the GoSF meetup in San Francisco.

At GE Digital, I work in the Predix Cloud Engineering org, where I build Data Services in Go that store and process Industrial IoT data with Kafka, Cassandra, EMR/Spark, and much more. In addition to writing backend services, I also work on Site Reliability Engineering for my team, improving the monitoring/alerting, reliability, and performance for all data services. Specifically, I’ve built tooling that can simulate end users for black box testing.

I studied Computer Science and Mathematics at Syracuse University and like climbing rock, ice, and snow in my free time.
