Summary
David Young is a seasoned DevOps and infrastructure leader with 10+ years orchestrating cloud-first transformations, observability, and platform engineering across hybrid global environments. He has driven measurable outcomes—building a Kubernetes-based SaaS platform that improved release velocity by 60%, cutting provisioning time from days to minutes with Terraform, and delivering multimillion-dollar OpEx savings through ephemeral AKS environments. Comfortable at both tactical and strategic levels, he has owned P&L for cloud operations, established 24/7 incident response with blameless post-mortems, and embedded compliance-by-design for standards like SOC2, PCI-DSS and ISO27001. Known for turning fragmented tooling into unified, cost-effective observability and ITSM systems, he pairs hands-on skills in config management, CI/CD, and monitoring with vendor negotiation and finance-minded governance. Based in Texas, he blends enterprise-scale delivery experience with a knack for practical automation that reduces toil and accelerates release cadence.
