Senior🎓
Top SchoolAustin Poole is a Lead Platform Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building high-throughput, cost-conscious cloud systems—most recently driving platform and SRE efforts at Q6 Cyber and previously developing an EC2 control plane service at AWS that handled millions of requests per minute and enabled $6M in annual savings. He blends deep Java expertise and AWS certifications with practical SRE practices, having led large migrations (Heroku→AWS), standardized CI/CD and GitOps workflows, and implemented observability stacks using Prometheus/Alertmanager and a custom open-source metrics tool. Austin has a strong track record of performance-focused engineering—e.g., redesigning an S3 reprocessing system that cut runtime from 13 days to 16 hours—and focuses on reusable automation, security-minded secrets management, and developer ergonomics. Based in Atlanta, he pairs a pragmatic, cost-aware mindset with a curiosity for new tools and a history of creating reusable infrastructure that scales.
