Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Burton is a pragmatic Data Engineer and Site Reliability specialist with 11 years of experience designing resilient, automated systems that quietly keep data and services running. Based in Birmingham, AL, he blends Python, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and AWS to migrate, harden, and automate pipelines—frequently turning ad-hoc jobs into documented, repeatable workflows. His career spans hands-on roles from building PL/SQL packages and custom LMS tooling to migrating EC2 apps to ECS and converting CDK AI stacks into Terraform, showing deep operational breadth across cloud and on-prem environments. Colleagues know him as an "Interstitial Engineer" who finds elegant solutions in the gaps between systems, whether that means cron-driven pipelines or CI/CD orchestration. He’s equally comfortable debugging Redis cache issues or authoring cross-account tag management tools, and he prioritizes secure, observable deployments that reduce firefighting.
