About

Colton Provias

I’m a software engineer based in the Bay Area, originally from Pittsburgh. My work centers on scaling distributed systems and refining the developer experience to make complex infrastructure more accessible.

My path to engineering was shaped by a career as a composer and audio engineer. That musical foundation continues today; I regularly conduct, perform, and organize jazz and orchestral performances with the G Sharp Jazz Band and Googler Orchestra.

Beyond the office and the stage, I’m an advocate for better urbanism and a dedicated language learner.
