Evan Short is a pragmatic DevOps engineer and builder with 17 years of experience designing developer-friendly infrastructure and shipping web applications across startups and consulting engagements. Based in Indianapolis, he blends hands-on cloud and server administration (AWS) with a strong software background in JavaScript, Ruby, and PHP, and has led teams as a developer manager and lecturer. As co-founder of a web studio he architected real-time and single-page solutions using Node.js, WebSockets, and Ionic, and more recently focuses on operationalizing systems at Executive Homes.

He pairs entrepreneurial instincts with teaching experience, having modernized university web curricula and guided student projects.
