Kyle Galbraith

Kyle Galbraith is the co-founder and CEO of Depot, a developer tools startup, and is currently based in Montpellier, France. He originally began his professional career as a motocross videographer before transitioning into programming and platform engineering roles. Frustrated by persistent continuous integration slowdowns, he partnered with CTO Jacob Gillespie to establish Depot to accelerate software builds across major providers like GitHub Actions and CircleCI. The company participated in the 2023 Y Combinator cohort and has since expanded its core product offerings from standard Docker image builds to comprehensive acceleration tools including runners, caching, and a container registry. Galbraith recently spoke at the 2024 AWS re:Invent conference regarding the transformation of software builds in the artificial intelligence era. His current focus remains on optimizing microservices and advancing software infrastructure to eliminate critical developer bottlenecks.
