Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeorge Mamalakis is a Staff SRE and production engineer with 11+ years building resilient infrastructure and orchestration at scale, currently at Meta and co-founder/CTO of DataScouting. He combines deep Unix/BSD/kernel tinkering and networking expertise with hands-on automation and orchestration—Salt, Ansible, Terraform, Nomad, Consul and Kubernetes—while still maintaining a developer’s mindset via Python web services and open-source contributions (notably enhancements to cornice’s Marshmallow validation). His PhD work on anomaly-based intrusion detection informs a practical security and ML perspective that he applies to system observability and incident detection. He has led cloud and DR designs for municipal and enterprise customers, migrated services between virtualization stacks, and driven open-source-first infrastructure decisions in production. Comfortable moving from low-level OS/kernel options to high-level CI/CD and service discovery, he favors durable, auditable solutions and occasionally delves into source-level fixes when systems misbehave. Based in the UK, he blends academic rigor with entrepreneurial product experience across networking, security, and SRE disciplines.
