Senior🎓
Top SchoolJamie Starke is a Senior DevOps and FinOps engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience designing cloud governance, cost management, and automation for large SaaS environments. Currently advising at Anglepoint and freelancing as a cloud developer, Jamie has driven significant efficiency gains—e.g., automating GCP project provisioning at Workday to cut weekly effort by ~60% and rapidly scaling tagging coverage across hundreds of thousands of resources. Comfortable across languages (JavaScript, Java, C#, Python, Ruby) and IaC tools, they’ve built unified cloud cost warehouses and reusable Terraform/CloudFormation modules that enable consistent, auditable deployments. Earlier roles combined full-stack development and research, yielding production tools and academic work on developer tooling and search-driven maintenance. Based in Victoria, BC, Jamie pairs a research background (MSc/PhD work) with pragmatic engineering and a track record of side projects that solve real problems. They’re motivated by creating practical automation and helping teams adopt sustainable, cost-aware cloud practices.
