Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolClay Sweetser is a site reliability engineer and software developer with 12 years of experience building secure, high-availability systems for federal contractors and commercial networks. He blends infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation), orchestration (Kubernetes, Helm, FluxCD), and CI/CD expertise (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) to automate deployments and harden pipelines against vulnerabilities, including HIPAA-focused compliance work. Clay has repeatedly reduced costs and deployment time through automation—once cutting AWS infrastructure spend by roughly 65%—and routinely refactors legacy IaC and SQL to meet evolving business needs. Comfortable across Python, Go, Bash and C, he has contributed to the Nim language core around sockets and CLI handling, showing a systems-level appetite beyond typical SRE work. Based in Herndon, VA, he pairs hands-on troubleshooting of bare-metal and cloud networks with developer-facing tools and documentation that accelerate non-technical teams.
