Boise, Idaho, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Simmons is a seasoned Linux systems engineer and domain architect with nine years of focused experience architecting and automating infrastructure at St. Luke's Health System. He blends hands-on systems engineering with strategic architecture work across virtualization, IaaS, infrastructure-as-code, and DevSecOps governance. Andy has repeatedly driven operational improvements—automating urgent incident handling to remove a 24x7 NOC requirement and rapidly aggregating COVID-19 reporting data from disparate sources to support remote work. He has a track record of defining new roles and standardizing proof-of-concept processes while leading cross-functional collaboratives for automation and development. Based in Boise, he pairs deep technical breadth (Linux, VMware, cloud, automation) with practical delivery instincts that turn prototypes into enduring operational capabilities. Colleagues rely on him for both escalation-level engineering and shaping enterprise roadmaps that align security, communications, and infrastructure goals.
