Hi, I’m Bruce
Senior DevOps Engineer working in AWS and Kubernetes. I build the pipelines and platforms that keep software shipping — and modernize the ones that have stopped keeping up.
What I do
Where most of my work lands.
-
AWS
Designing and running cloud infrastructure that’s defined in code, not clicked together in a console.
-
Kubernetes
Running workloads on clusters that stay boring — sane defaults, clear limits, no 2 a.m. surprises.
-
CI/CD
Build and release pipelines that make shipping routine, so deploying isn’t an event anyone has to brace for.
-
Reliability
Monitoring, alerting, and the unglamorous work of surfacing problems before a customer has to report them.
-
Scalability
Making systems handle the next order of magnitude without a rewrite — or a matching cloud bill.
-
Modernization
Moving legacy systems forward incrementally, without a big-bang cutover and the outage that usually follows.
Off the clock
Husband and dad first. The rest of my time goes to making music, running the smoker, and enjoying a good cigar.
