Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClay Buxton is a Senior DevOps Engineer with 10 years of experience delivering secure, production-grade infrastructure for both government and commercial customers, currently building resilient systems at Lockheed Martin. He blends software engineering and embedded-systems experience with deep Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD expertise, having helped design a custom service mesh (greymatter) and hardened container/Kubernetes deployments for DoD environments. Holding an active security clearance, Clay has a proven track record automating compliance and operational tooling—implementing RMF controls and running large-scale Linux fleets and GitLab-driven pipelines. Comfortable across languages from Java and C++ to Go and JavaScript, he excels at translating complex requirements into maintainable infrastructure and observability solutions. Colleagues know him for pragmatic reliability improvements that reduce build times and improve security posture, and for an intentional curiosity (self-styled “pod goblin”) that drives continuous learning and creative problem solving.
