Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBen Healey is a Senior System Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience designing and operating cloud-native deployment pipelines, Kubernetes platforms, and infrastructure-as-code across AWS. Based in Michigan, he has led large migrations from ECS to EKS, authored reusable CI templates and Terraform modules, and built GitOps-focused pipelines that let application teams only worry about their container images. His background in L3 support for Rancher and Kubernetes distros gives him deep troubleshooting chops across RKE/RKE2/K3s, monitoring, storage and GitOps integrations. Ben pairs practical automation (Python, Bash, Ansible) with a knack for reducing "clickops" through secure, auditable CI/CD and multi-region blue/green deployments. Notably, he’s implemented solutions that hide sensitive credentials from users while enabling cross-region Rancher project provisioning and automated production rollouts.
