Eli Stark is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in developer experience and site reliability with 13+ years of hands-on experience building scalable infrastructure and SRE teams. Based in Raleigh, he has driven major cloud migrations, containerization, and CI/CD standardization—cutting deployment friction, onboarding time, and Kubernetes costs while improving observability at companies like AnchorFree and Carta. He blends deep operational expertise (large-scale traffic, petabyte data migrations, Kafka/RabbitMQ, Prometheus/ELK) with pragmatic DevEx work such as Codespaces/devcontainers, automated onboarding, and ArgoCD-driven delivery pipelines. Notably, he reduced new-developer time-to-first-commit from days to about an hour and led a team through decoupling a >300 Gbps monolith into 100+ services. Eli’s background in security and operations informs a practical, automation-first approach to reliability and developer productivity.
