Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Stickel is a Principal Site Reliability Engineer with over a decade of experience building resilient, automated distributed systems and large-scale search and big-data platforms. Based in Seattle, he has helped drive SRE excellence at Elastic after earlier DevOps and systems-architecture roles at TUNE and SAP Concur, and he cut his technical teeth managing thousands of endpoints in the U.S. Coast Guard. Deeply pragmatic about DevOps and agile practices, he focuses on container-driven workflows (Mesos, Docker) and infrastructure-as-code to enable rapid, self-healing deployments. Benjamin combines hands-on automation (PowerShell to orchestration tools) with a strong emphasis on observability and fault-tolerant design, and enjoys turning chaos into opportunities for engineered reliability.
