Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Gregory is a Senior Infrastructure Architect with a decade of hands-on experience designing resilient Linux and cloud automation platforms that meet rigorous security and compliance needs. He has led observability and edge computing initiatives—from rebuilding monitoring stacks and SNMP polling for thousands of devices to containerized k3s rollouts across ~2,000 retail locations—helping teams move faster without sacrificing governance. Skilled in Terraform, Ansible, Python, and cloud-native tooling, Ben specializes in translating technical tradeoffs into business-aligned architecture decisions during high-stakes moments such as M&A transitions and SOC 2 audits. His contributions to open-source monitoring tooling (including full-stack fixes and UI tweaks for the Thruk project) reflect a practical, code-first approach to reliability. Based in Nashville, he combines enterprise-scale governance experience with the curiosity of an engineer who still enjoys digging into Perl, JavaScript, and CSS when a production problem demands it.
