Summary
Aaron Johnson is a Senior Platform Engineer specializing in data infrastructure with 13 years of experience building reliable, production-grade ETL, MLOps, and cloud-native systems. He has led migrations from Hadoop to Snowflake, automated CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, CDK, and GitHub Actions, and optimized serverless Lambda pipelines for secure dev/prod environments. Comfortable across Python, Go, Kubernetes, and AWS, he blends hands-on implementation with stakeholder consultation to turn messy data into validated decisions and self-service tooling. He’s worked end-to-end—from custom concurrent ETL at scale to provisioning platforms for data scientists—and mentors teams on best practices and reproducibility. Based in Salt Lake City, Aaron pairs an MS in Instructional Psychology and Linguistics background with a pragmatic curiosity that surfaces subtle data quality issues others miss.
