Senior🎓
Top SchoolDarrell Ross is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and automating cloud-native infrastructure across AWS and GCP, currently focused on platform reliability and developer enablement. He excels at Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible), Kubernetes (EKS), and CI/CD modernization (GitHub Actions, self-hosted runners), having led org-wide migrations and GitHub consolidations. Darrell pairs deep technical delivery—multi-account AWS architectures, reusable Terraform modules, FinOps savings exceeding $20k/month, and AI/ML workload support—with strong documentation and cross-team mentorship practices. He’s comfortable switching between IC and management roles, founding an automation guild and leading DevOps teams while preferring to be “in the trenches” implementing solutions. Outside work he’s a lifelong tinkerer—early BBS/networking experience, hobby farming, and running Minecraft servers—that surfaces in a pragmatic, build-first approach to platform problems.
