Summary
Aaron Johnson is a Sr. DevOps / SRE practitioner with eight years of hands-on experience modernizing hybrid cloud and on-prem infrastructures, currently shaping SRE practices at Compassion International after defining the role at Jeppesen. He excels at turning legacy VM-based systems into Kubernetes-driven platforms, automating blue/green deployments with Jenkins and GitLab pipelines, and codifying environments with ARM templates, Helm, and IaC so setups are reproducible from source. Comfortable speaking both technical and managerial languages, Aaron translates complex reliability trade-offs for leadership and champions error budgeting to balance feature velocity with stability. He prefers pragmatic hybrid cloud strategies—keeping some workloads on-prem to manage risk and cost—and sleeps easier knowing environments are templatized with per-environment values. A collaborator who thrives learning from peers, he pairs curiosity with a do-it-right mentality: if it can’t be recreated from source, he considers the work unfinished.
