Top SchoolBrad West is a Principal DevOps Engineer and Marine Corps veteran with 11+ years of experience designing and operating Linux-based systems, deployment pipelines, and command-line automation for both public sector messaging environments and commercial web platforms. He excels at “internet glue”: building Bash, Ruby, and Python tooling that turns repetitive tasks into one-click operations and speeds developer workflows. His background supporting secure DoD messaging systems and running production infrastructure on AWS and DigitalOcean gives him a pragmatic security-first mindset across CI/CD, containerization, and database operations. Brad pairs hands-on scripting and ops work with clear operating procedures and developer documentation, reducing onboarding time and operational risk. Outside of work he’s a web developer and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu enthusiast, a combination that reflects discipline, continual learning, and attention to detail.
