Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Wierdsma is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with six years of hands-on experience designing, migrating, and operating cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes environments. He has led production-scale initiatives—rearchitecting services to ArgoCD, migrating CNIs, and managing thousands of customer workspaces—while building CI/CD, observability, and automation frameworks that reduce toil and improve reliability. Comfortable across the stack, he authors serverless and infrastructure-as-code solutions (Terraform, Python Lambdas, Bash) and has presented an SFTP automation design at AWS Summit Toronto. Colleagues rely on him for incident response and scalable design: he’s repeatedly turned manual runbooks into automated, multi-AZ deployments with robust monitoring and long-term metric retention. Based in Toronto, he pairs a Waterloo computer science background with a pragmatic, developer-friendly approach to SRE that emphasizes reproducible environments and measurable SLIs.
