Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Soer is a Senior DevOps Engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native platforms and developer enablement tooling from Vancouver, BC. He specializes in Kubernetes, AWS/Azure migrations, GitOps and CI/CD automation, and has repeatedly shortened onboarding and release cycles—turning months into days and weeks into hours. At NuData and Velora he led zero-downtime AKS migrations, cut Kubernetes costs through optimization, and created a reusable "Pipeline Integration Kit" to standardize deployments across GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Azure and AWS. Equally comfortable in Python, TypeScript and infra-as-code, he pairs pragmatic tool choices with strong documentation, runbooks and cross-team collaboration to lower MTTR and improve platform resilience. He enjoys crafting one-click, user-friendly solutions that hide complexity while preserving auditability and security. Outside of work he’s drawn to iterative design and practical POCs that reveal the simplest path to reliable automation.
