Dallas Slaughter
Founding Engineer
Founding Ambassador
BioHide bio
Dallas loves to build things almost as much as he loves to break them, and has plenty of experience at both to share. Having spent years as a DevOps engineer, someone got the bright idea to let him write code again and he's having a blast. Always happy to help, or listen, or just be the void that gets screamed into.

Lorelei Rupp
Senior Principal DevOps Engineer
Ambassador since 2026
BioHide bio
I have been a Software Engineer for 20 years, 10 of those specifically as a DevOps engineer. My passion is to automate everything and I have really enjoyed working with Terraform and Terragrunt over the years. I hate all manual changes and if you ask me to do something manually, I will push back and automate it. I am currently responsible for the IAC of many environments at my current job and without Terragrunt I am not sure this would be possible. I am very excited to be a part of this community and help others on their IAC journey.
