Rainya Mosher is an experienced mid-level engineering manager with 6 years of experience with OpenStack at Rackspace and Cisco Systems. She has worked with a variety of OpenStack teams in both development and operations over the years, including OpenStack Compute and OpenStack Networks, to help them find the sweet spot between productivity and innovation. Rainya also led the team of engineers that navigated the treacherous waters of production scale and trunk deploys during the early days of Rackspace's OpenStack-based public cloud product offering. She is a creative type with a strong software development background who likes people and got sucked into the manager path along the way. When she’s not immersed in email and IRC, she can be found singing in the local Texas theatre scene or thinking about how she isn't writing the next great American novel. Rainya has a Master of Science in Technology Commercialization from UT Austin and too many dogs at home.
