Summary
David Wilde is an experienced engineering leader and hands-on problem solver with 11+ years building and operating large-scale cloud and OpenStack-based systems, now serving as an Associate Manager at Red Hat. His career spans roles from systems administrator to SRE and software engineer, with deep expertise in automation, Kubernetes, Go, Ansible, and ELK-driven observability. He has driven deployment and upgrade improvements for OpenStack Ansible—helping enable near-zero downtime upgrades—and built inventory microservices and gRPC/protobuf integrations to streamline deployments.
