Summary
🤩
RockstarAlex Weidner is a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 10 years of experience building Kubernetes-native CI/CD and release systems at scale, currently designing reusable infrastructure and platform services at IBM. He specializes in software supply chain reliability, release automation, and breaking down Dev/Ops silos using tools like FluxCD, OpenShift, Tekton and Bazel. Alex has a track record of turning slow, manual upgrade and release processes into automated, support-run workflows—cutting upgrade windows from a day to under an hour—and establishing metrics-driven incident and postmortem practices. He led the creation of an internal container-native CI/CD alternative and multi-tenant services for access, vulnerability and deployment reporting, enabling many product teams to ship safely on Kubernetes. Based in Durham, NC, he pairs pragmatic engineering with developer education and platform advocacy, and his GitHub ethos—"still breaking before making"—reflects a hands-on, iterative approach to solving hard infrastructure problems.
