Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrian Degeeter is a Staff Platform Engineer based in Seattle with over two decades of hands-on experience and five years focused on platform and cloud-native engineering leadership. He specializes in automating the software lifecycle with deep expertise in DevOps, CI/CD, network test automation, and Kubernetes networking, having driven CNI, GitOps, and cloud-agnostic microservice migrations at F5. Brian has a track record of turning multi-day, manual processes into fully automated pipelines and built test automation frameworks and tooling still used years later. As a Porter maintainer and CNCF contributor he champions open-source alternatives that replaced costly vendor tooling and unlocked scalable developer workflows.

Trained as a mechanical engineer, he applies a systems-thinking approach to software and network protocol testing and orchestration.
