Summary
J W is a Staff Technical Support Engineer with 11 years of focused experience integrating systems, running releases, and shepherding complex operational changes across financial, medical, and enterprise environments. He combines deep Unix/Solaris and cloud-native expertise—spanning service meshes, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD—with hands-on SRE and release engineering skills developed at firms like Citi, Altoros, and Solo.io. He has a track record of automating fragile processes (e.g., large-scale data migrations, ZFS/LU conversions, and email archive imports) and building customer-facing support infrastructure that scales. Comfortable operating at the nexus of product, engineering, and security, he’s delivered kernel and firmware updates, vulnerability mitigations, and platform modernizations under strict compliance regimes. Based in Saint Petersburg, FL, he brings a systems-thinking BS from Antioch and a pragmatic passion for technology’s societal impact, often turning operational toil into repeatable, auditable workflows.
