Bruce Murphy is a seasoned systems engineer with 11+ years of hands-on experience across CentOS/Red Hat, VMware, NetApp storage and large Atlassian DataCenter clusters, currently focused on maintaining mission-critical infrastructure at LexisNexis. He combines traditional colo and hardware expertise—rack-and-stack, fiber zoning, tape libraries—with modern cloud skills, having recently automated AWS VPCs, geo-aware ELBs, spot/static instance provisioning, and DB auto-deployments. Past roles span DevOps and sysadmin responsibilities at startups and scale-ups, where he built Terraform/Packer vCenter workflows, managed global CDN/video delivery systems, and ran HPC/Torque clusters. Comfortable writing automation in bash/Perl and updating Puppet manifests, he repeatedly documents and hands over environments to enable smooth operations and team scaling. Based in San Jose, he brings a pragmatic, operations-first mindset that bridges legacy datacenter realities with evolving cloud automation. He’s a continual learner who moved from deep hardware and storage operations into cloud orchestration, making him effective in hybrid environments.
