Summary
Dan Farnsworth is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer with 11+ years building and operating large-scale Linux-based infrastructure, CI/CD, and Kubernetes platforms across multi-cloud environments. He blends hands-on engineering and people leadership—merging teams, mentoring engineers, and running cross-functional initiatives while still writing the automation, dashboards, and tools that reduce toil. Deeply versed in Terraform, GitLab CI/ArgoCD, Vault, Datadog, Prometheus, and containerization, he focuses on observability, incident response improvements, and repeatable infrastructure-as-code. Comfortable in 24x7 operations and international teams, he has a track record of migrating legacy systems to modern Kubernetes and secure pipeline workflows. An unusual strength is his "deep generalist" ability to bridge networking, security, and developer needs by quickly building pragmatic internal tools (e.g., deployment/reporting utilities) that accelerate teams. Based in Riverton, UT, he repeatedly turns complex operations challenges into automated, auditable solutions.
