Summary
Elijah Lynn is a systems-minded DevOps and software engineer with 13 years of experience building CI/CD, observability, and high-performance Drupal-based systems for enterprise and government clients. He led the VA.gov CMS modernization at Agile Six—recruiting the initial team, architecting fast preview environments, and shifting deployments from biweekly to daily continuous delivery using Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Jenkins and AWS. Previously at Red Hat and NBCUniversal he solved thorny production problems (cache stampedes, DNS and certificate issues, API performance) and drove measurable gains in reliability and latency. Based in Hillsboro, Oregon, he combines hands-on infrastructure expertise with strong cross-team communication and a knack for persuading skeptical engineers to adopt better practices. An interesting thread through his career is practical troubleshooting under pressure—from opening locks for law enforcement early in his working life to sleuthing multi-system outages at scale.
