Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Tomasik is a pragmatic platform and DevOps lead with 12 years of hands-on experience building resilient CI/CD pipelines, managing cloud-hosted assets, and responding to production incidents. Based in Atlanta, he blends systems-level Linux expertise (he runs Gentoo personally) with enterprise Windows operations and a knack for scripting to automate and simplify complex workflows. At Carrier he leads cross-team platform engineering efforts spanning cost analysis, outage response, and wide-scale CI/CD adoption, while earlier roles saw him consolidate embedded and cloud systems into containerized products. He contributes to open-source tooling around low-level networking (improving tests for python-iptables), demonstrating attention to reliability and test clarity. Known for an improvisational, learn-every-day approach, he pairs practical engineering with a preference for elegant, auditable solutions.
