Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Jarrett is a Cloud Engineering Technical Leader at Cisco with a long career rooted in systems, QA and DevOps that spans over 25 years of hands-on IT experience and 11 years focused on cloud engineering. He specializes in large-scale OpenStack and hybrid cloud operations, automation with Ansible and SaltStack, and has repeatedly improved platform reliability and provisioning performance at scale (for example cutting scheduling time on 700-node clusters from 20s to 5s). Comfortable moving between low-level troubleshooting—shaped by early AWACS radar electronics work—and strategic cloud architecture, he combines scripting and orchestration skills (Python, Bash, CI/CD) with practical storage and networking experience (Ceph, iSCSI, VLAN/VPN). Known for methodical root-cause analysis and tooling-driven fixes, he’s delivered zero-error database migrations, built production Ceph clusters, and stabilized VM images across global datacenters. Based in Grove, Oklahoma, he brings an engineer’s curiosity (with a background in music theory and formal electronics training) to solving complex infrastructure problems.
