Top SchoolJames Moriarty is a Site Reliability Engineer with 13 years of software experience and over a decade delivering and operating high-availability cloud platforms for enterprises and large-scale consumer services. He combines hands-on backend engineering (Ruby, Go, Node, Java) with SRE practices learned from Google professional training, driving reliability, observability, and incident response across AWS and GCP. James has stabilized platforms serving 10M monthly visitors, led ERP/CRM migrations tied to $500M revenue, and built double-entry accounting SaaS used to manage millions in client revenue. He’s comfortable across the stack—from Kubernetes, Terraform, and service meshes to performance tuning and cost optimization—and has contributed popular open-source libraries with significant weekly downloads. Based in Havelock North, New Zealand, he’s equally at ease mentoring teams and embedding SRE culture into large transformation programs, bringing a rare mix of product-minded engineering and operational rigor.
