Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Sudia is a Senior DevOps and Platform Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building cloud-native developer platforms that prioritize developer experience, security, and high-velocity delivery. He has a track record of scaling systems and teams—from architecting UPchieve to support 13,000 monthly tutoring sessions with a tiny engineering team to driving 400% product sales growth and week-over-week adoption improvements for Teleport’s Machine & Workload Identity. Deep technical strengths include Kubernetes, service mesh, GitOps, SPIFFE/SPIRE, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Pulumi), and he’s contributed security fixes to the widely used Teleport open-source project. David uniquely pairs builder instincts with product-level thinking—having served as an interim product lead—so he translates business value into architectures that developers actually want to use. He’s now focused on Principal/Staff platform roles tackling multi-region, zero-trust, and developer-experience challenges. Based in Denver, he prefers deep technical work over product management or DevRel, and seeks teams that value measurable impact and long-lived platform leverage.
