Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGregory Swift is a Staff Platform Engineer with over 25 years building platforms that reduce toil, accelerate releases, and let engineering teams actually ship. He blends deep Linux and open-source roots with pragmatic expertise in Kubernetes, IaC, config management, and CI/CD, often working hands-on as an individual contributor even while leading teams. Gregory has shaped platform and SRE practices across startups, federal government, and international companies, driving cost optimization, release automation, and clearer ownership boundaries for long-term reliability. He’s built platform organizations from scratch, led major Kubernetes migrations, and introduced site reliability practices to high-throughput telemetry systems. Based in San Antonio, he balances technical life with unexpected creative pursuits—he’s an active fire performer—and is looking to re-engage with open source and the tech community now that his kids are older. If your internal systems are being neglected, he’s the pragmatic, opinionated engineer who’ll treat operations like a product.
