Summary
Brian Gottfried is a Solutions Architect with a decade of hands-on experience designing and automating cloud-native delivery pipelines and production deployments. Based in Austin, he blends deep curiosity for automation with practical expertise across consulting and professional services roles at companies like NVIDIA, Solo.io, Red Hat, and Run:ai. Brian has a proven track record building robust CI/CD and test automation—ranging from Jenkins-driven telephony integration test pipelines to Kubernetes/Helm prototypes—and enjoys doing the hard work once so systems run hands-off. His background in both enterprise software (Epic, Fidelity) and edge/cloud networking gives him a pragmatic perspective on making complex distributed systems operable and repeatable. An avid traveler and planner, he also applied his automation interest to personal projects like a hiking trip planner that demonstrates his habit of turning real-world needs into code.
