Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFellyn Silliman is a results-oriented VP of Site Reliability Engineering with 11 years of experience building and operating high-performance, distributed infrastructure at hyper-scale. Based in New York, she combines technical leadership with a passion for monitoring and mentoring, shaping monitoring strategy and SRE best practices at firms like LinkedIn and D. E. Shaw. At LinkedIn she helped define company-wide observability vision, spoke at cross-company forums, and was a founding member of senior SRE leadership groups that steer technical direction. Her background spans hands-on systems design—from real-time user event monitoring and edge/security infrastructure to cost-saving operational tools and unique file caching solutions in gaming operations. Equally comfortable leading remote, multi-timezone teams or driving in-person collaboration, she focuses on pragmatic, customer-focused solutions that reduce downtime and operational overhead. Her uncommon mix of systems craftsmanship and people-first mentorship reliably turns complex reliability problems into scalable, maintainable platforms.
