Summary
👤
SeniorEmily Nelson is a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with 15 years of experience building cloud-native systems and Kubernetes platforms that prioritize reducing alerts and lowering developer friction. She has led infrastructure and DevOps efforts at companies ranging from startups to large platforms—most recently joining Manifest after senior roles at BitGo and Medium and a director-level tenure at Vungle. Emily blends hands-on systems work (from MSSQL reporting and web development early in her career) with strategic platform thinking to enable scale and operational efficiency. Based in Kapaa, Hawaii, she’s equally comfortable optimizing observability and on-call noise as she is designing CI/CD and cloud architectures. Colleagues know her for pragmatic tooling choices and a longtime habit of tinkering with hardware, sound, and wiring—hints of a maker mindset that show up in resilient, well-instrumented systems.
