Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Pancoast is a Platform Architect with 25+ years of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and operating Linux/Unix and cloud-native infrastructures, currently leading platform efforts at Koddi from Denver. He specializes in cost-conscious, highly available architectures and has driven major cloud migrations and Terraform-based Infrastructure-as-Code initiatives for large enterprise clients, including multi-region EKS and Aurora DR designs. A pragmatic engineer and mentor, he has built reusable terraform modules, automated deployments with Jenkins and Packer, and implemented production-grade Vault and observability stacks. Notably, he was an early external adopter of Netflix’s Spinnaker and Titus and helped productize deployment patterns for complex microservices at scale. He prefers remote engagements without relocation and focuses on platform and cloud engineering rather than mobile development.
