Brett Tegart is a Production Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience designing scalable, secure Linux-first systems for large enterprises, currently at Meta.

Brett is particularly strong at OS hardening and security—SELinux, Kerberos, SCAP and secure container design—and has practical experience debugging SAML/OpenID Connect deployments across IdP and SP roles. Comfortable across distributed computing and HPC workloads, he also brings hardware-level know-how from Intel whitebox configuration and advanced network troubleshooting.
