Dave Carrithers is a Chief Cloud Architect with 14 years of hands-on experience designing and operating production cloud and container platforms at scale, currently leading cloud architecture at Booz Allen Hamilton. He has deep expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Consul/Vault and automation driven by CI/CD, having migrated legacy Drupal sites to containerized Kubernetes environments and defined infrastructure-as-code for multi-environment AWS deployments. Dave pairs platform engineering with pragmatic developer tooling—building Vagrant/Packer images, Jenkins/Docker pipelines, and self-healing automation via Lambda and Consul hooks—to reduce toil and improve reliability. His background spans enterprise product support and full-stack PHP development, giving him an unusually broad perspective on both developer experience and operational resilience. Based in Herndon, VA, he holds an MS in Computer Science and is known for translating long-held platform ideas into production-ready systems.
