Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames D is an experienced engineering manager who has spent nearly two decades building and leading Cloud, DevOps, SRE, and platform infrastructure teams, now overseeing 15 engineers across US, EU, and India for Pantheon’s container-based WebOps platform on Google Cloud. He combines hands-on technical ownership of distributed file systems, runtime containers, and large-scale orchestration with strategic accountability for cost, capacity, and SOC 2 compliance, driving reliability for 300,000+ sites at 99.99% uptime. A pragmatic problem-solver, he led a storage-efficiency program that reclaimed capacity and delivered $1.5M+ annually with zero customer impact. Earlier, he founded and scaled the SRE/DevOps function supporting $26B+ in annual payment volume, and he has a strong track record of talent development—most hires have advanced to senior or leadership roles. James is equally comfortable in incident command or in code and architecture reviews, favoring measurable operational improvements and engineer growth.
