Top SchoolAlex Krantz is a Junior DevOps Engineer and BCIT Computer Systems student with a decade of hands-on software and hardware experience, currently on co-op at Trulioo. He has driven measurable infrastructure improvements—reducing deployment times from a day to 15 minutes at Sanctuary AI and modernizing Ansible workflows and CI testing—while also contributing to the open-source Telegraf project by fixing integrations and parsing large integers. Comfortable across backend, systems, and embedded domains, he built a custom deployment tool (WaffleMaker) and led a team that maintained a 99.99% uptime application serving 1,200+ applicants. Alex pairs a deep curiosity and self-taught systems knowledge with practical results in automation, security (removing static AWS credentials), and performance tuning, and brings an unusual blend of electrical engineering experience and software reliability focus to DevOps problems.
