Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolC Alexander is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 11 years of experience building and automating infrastructure for large-scale web services, currently focused at RhythmScience. He has deep hands-on expertise across cloud-native and traditional tooling—Chef, CloudFormation, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Prometheus, ELK, and AWS—plus strong scripting in Python and Ruby. His background includes operating customer-facing platforms at Mozilla and improving deployment and CI/CD pipelines for well-known projects like mozilla/bedrock, where he optimized gunicorn, canary deploys, and test pipelines. Comfortable across databases and messaging (Percona XtraDB, MongoDB, RabbitMQ) and web stacks (Apache, Tomcat), he bridges development and operations to reduce toil and increase reliability. Colleagues rely on him to tame complex deployments into repeatable, observable systems, and he’s quietly passionate about making CI/CD/CY pipelines first-class parts of engineering workflows. Based in Battle Ground, WA, he brings a pragmatic, automation-first approach honed in both product teams and infrastructure organizations.
