Felippe Burk is a Senior DevOps/DevOps Reliability engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and operating large-scale, automated infrastructure across enterprises including VMware, Broadcom, and Nexio. He specializes in SaltStack-driven orchestration, CI/CD pipeline engineering, and reliability automation—contributing optimizations like S3 caching and Slack notifications to the widely used saltstack/salt project. Felippe has repeatedly reduced operational toil (e.g., cutting highstate runtimes from minutes to seconds and converting thousands of servers to Salt-based automation) and built self-healing, observable platforms using Elasticsearch, Vault, and Kubernetes. Based in Lehi, Utah, he blends a rapid-learning, high-effort mindset with a pragmatic view of work-life balance and a track record of turning complex production challenges into reproducible automation.
