Top SchoolJamie Murphy is a Senior System Engineer based in Dublin with 14 years of hands-on experience designing, automating and operating large-scale infrastructure across Linux, VMware, NetApp/Nimble storage and cloud platforms. He blends SRE and DevOps practices—Chef, Terraform, SaltStack, Spinnaker and CI/CD—to modernize legacy chef cookbooks, migrate services toward containers, and automate repeatable operations. Jamie has driven infrastructure improvements at scale for companies like Pivotal, Airbnb and Patreon, led regional incident response, and implemented monitoring and observability integrations using LogicMonitor and SumoLogic. An active open-source contributor, he has enhanced SaltStack and NetBox backends with tests and IPv6/OOB IP support, showing a knack for both network automation and data-model integrity. He pairs strong ops instincts with scripting (Ruby, Python, PHP) and security-aware tooling (OneLogin, Palo Alto, F5), often surfacing subtle edge cases in networking and IP handling. Known for “automating all the things,” he focuses on reliable, testable infrastructure and measurable operational improvements.
