Summary
Jack Hayhurst is an SRE with 11 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining resilient cloud infrastructure at Liquid Web, where he has progressed from top-tier support to primary maintainer of Prometheus, Ceph, custom Ansible modules, telemetry tooling, and packaging systems. He specializes in cloud operations, security-minded maintainability, and test-driven infrastructure, often switching hats between development, security, and engineering to move projects forward. Jack has led large-scale operational tooling—firewall and mail configurations affecting tens of thousands of targets—and developed recovery scripts and diagnostics used in production incident response. He is unusually focused on test coverage and well-segmented systems to prevent the gradual decay he’s seen in long-lived platforms. Based in Lansing, Michigan, he pairs practical operational experience with a developer’s attention to code quality and reusable tooling.
