Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Manners is a Principal Platform Architect Engineer with nearly a decade of focused platform and SRE experience and over fifteen years in technology, now based in Raleigh, NC. He designs secure, scalable developer platforms and CI/CD ecosystems, having shipped hyperscaling on-prem Kubernetes, SSDF-compliant GitHub Actions logging, and global idempotent infra provisioning that cut region provisioning from days to an hour. Comfortable across cloud, on-prem, and networking domains, he blends deep systems and networking roots from event-grade temporary networks with cloud-native automation at scale. He mentors engineers and drives developer experience improvements that align technical work with business value. Notably, he built internal tooling to manage GitHub App auth across many enterprise instances and hardened GitHub Action runner runtimes to mitigate supply-chain risk. Pragmatic and hands-on, he thrives on turning operational complexity into repeatable, secure platforms.
