Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Reser is a Principal Cloud Security Architect with 22 years of experience designing and delivering secure, cloud-native systems and developer platforms. He blends deep backend engineering skills in Linux, Docker, distributed systems and languages like Python, C and Java with hands-on cloud migration and CI/CD expertise, having moved services from Heroku/datacenters to AWS and built Terraform-driven pipelines for Fargate. At CDK Global he led container and API gateway initiatives that scaled TLS and authentication across thousands of custom domains, and as a Subversion committer helped extend Perl bindings and core server behaviors in a widely used open-source project. Based in North Bend, WA, he pairs pragmatic operational experience with low-level portability work—demonstrated by POSIX-focused contributions to tooling like Bear—so he can both architect large security programs and dive into C/Perl patches when needed.
