Summary
👤
SeniorJames Briggs is a seasoned Sr. DevOps/SRE/DBA with 11 years of experience designing and operating large-scale database and infrastructure platforms across Silicon Valley, currently based in San Francisco and open to SF or remote roles. He has led MySQL, Postgres, and Cassandra architecture and operations at companies from Apple and Amazon Lab126 to Netflix and RackPing, combining deep database expertise with infrastructure-as-code, observability, and containerization (Terraform, Chef, Docker, AWS).
