Top SchoolAlex Conrey is a Principal DevOps Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building resilient CI/CD and cloud-native infrastructure for high-stakes organizations, including SpaceX and Blizzard Entertainment. Now leading platform and mission-critical operations at K2 Space and running Conrey Engineering, he specializes in Kubernetes, Bazel, Terraform, observability, and Golang to drive scalable developer velocity. His work has supported rocket launches and spacecraft mission control, revitalized a company-wide Bazel cache saturating 100+ Gb/s, and migrated on-prem datacenter services to HA Terraform-managed clouds. Equally comfortable in startup labs and aerospace mission consoles, he combines operational rigor with a practical hacker’s curiosity—formerly a “breaker of things” at SpaceX—bringing reliability under pressure and bespoke solutions for fast-moving teams.
