Summary
Emily Burch is a Development Operations Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience automating build and deployment workflows to let teams focus on features instead of manual toil. She has implemented and maintained large-scale CI/CD, configuration management, and streaming ingest systems—leveraging tools like Kafka, Chef, Liquibase, and AWS—across media and enterprise environments at companies including Lucasfilm, ESPN, and Cigna. Emily excels at turning fragile, manual processes into consistent, testable infrastructure-as-code for hundreds of servers and multiple environments, and she’s led zero-downtime migrations for mission-critical feeds. A natural troubleshooter who has always taken things apart to learn how they work, she pairs curiosity with practical teaching, training teams on DevOps principles and best practices. Based in Davenport, Florida, she blends systems-level engineering with developer-facing support, and often surfaces the less obvious wins of automation: reduced cognitive load and faster feature feedback cycles.
