Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Lawson is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with eight years of focused experience modernizing and operating mission-critical retail infrastructure at DICK'S Sporting Goods. He bridges deep database expertise—Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL HA with Patroni—and SRE tooling like Prometheus, Grafana, Etcd and Python to deliver resilient, automated systems across multiple datacenters. Previously a Senior DBA, he led SOX/PCI compliance projects, automated enterprise PeopleSoft database refreshes, and drove disaster recovery and capacity planning for large eCommerce back ends. Benjamin has a pragmatic track record of turning manual DBA processes into fully automated, auditable pipelines and has architected on-prem HA solutions that reduced operational toil. Based in Pennsylvania with a degree in Information Systems Management, he combines hands-on scripting (Perl, Python) with platform-level design to keep high-traffic services reliable. Colleagues describe him as the kind of engineer who takes ownership from design through deployment, quietly improving observability and compliance along the way.
