Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGaffer Fitch is a pragmatic infrastructure leader with 11+ years building and operating cloud-native platforms, currently leading infrastructure at AllSpice.io after senior SRE leadership roles at Vimeo and Core Scientific. He combines hands-on expertise in Kubernetes, GitOps, Terraform, observability, and CI/CD with a people-first leadership style that prioritizes trust, on-the-job learning, and blank‑slate design collaboration. His career blends deep operational experience—creating dozens of production microservices, operators, and push‑button service creators—with product-minded automation that turns complex environments into self-service platforms. Notable projects include building DBaaS and JobChain operators, service templates that automate full GitOps pipelines, and a Raspberry Pi Kubernetes playground he used to prototype household automations. Comfortable across languages and stacks (Python, Go, Ruby, SQL, Perl, etc.), he pairs electrical engineering and MBA training with a lifelong maker mentality to solve infrastructure problems end-to-end.
