Summary
Griffin Tucker is a Site Reliability Engineer and software engineer with eight years of experience building resilient, automated systems for high-scale services. He moved from SDE roles into dedicated SRE work, improving reliability to four nines at TikTok and leading CI/CD, alerting, and disaster-recovery initiatives that reduced alarms and operational toil. At American Express he modernized legacy Java systems—introducing multithreading that cut processing time by 83%—and drove org-wide DevOps maturity through automated pipelines and testing. Now at Starfish Space in Seattle, he continues to focus on automation, operational transparency, and bridging developer and ops teams to create robust, repeatable processes. Outside core engineering he brings a creative edge from earlier UI/UX and 2D/3D asset work and a curiosity for languages, evidenced by a minor in Scandinavian Studies and study in Swedish. He’s known for pairing technical rigor with mentorship and documentation to scale both systems and teams.
