Top SchoolIvan Lopez is a Senior DevOps Engineer with nine years of experience building resilient, cost-effective cloud infrastructure and automation across AWS, GCP, and Azure from Reykjavik. He has led migrations from on‑prem to IaC at scale, introduced CI/CD and Pipelines-as-Code, and improved observability by consolidating multi-tenant monitoring and automating Grafana datasources. At CCP Games and NetApp he reduced operational risk through runbooks, ADRs, and repeatable Kubernetes/EKS provisioning, while also driving cost optimizations and security automation such as CloudHSM EV certificate workflows. A hands-on mentor and team lead, he routinely runs training, shapes SDLC practices, and embeds testing like Molecule for Ansible to shrink tribal knowledge. He’s also an open-source contributor to Home Assistant, improving Gemini API schema validation and error handling for Google Generative AI integration—illustrating a knack for reliable, privacy-minded integrations. Practical, curious, and people-focused, he blends deep engineering craft with a clear track record of making complex systems simpler to operate.
