Summary
Bryn D is an AWS Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience building and operating scalable data platforms, Hadoop/EMR clusters, and automated cloud deployments. He blends deep Linux, Python, Bash, and Ansible expertise with pragmatic DevOps practices—automating tasks from account provisioning to a Splunk-triggered Lambda "KillSwitch" that isolates risky servers. His background spans enterprise-critical systems (airline communications, census infrastructure) and low-level sysadmin work, giving him a rare full-stack operations perspective. An amateur astronomer aiming to pivot into astronomical data processing, he pairs curiosity about the cosmos with practical benchmarking and performance tuning experience. Based in Glen Burnie, MD, he’s currently progressing toward AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification while continuing on-call and production support for large-scale public-sector services.
