Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJared Keith is a Lead Platform Engineer with nine years focused on building scalable CI/CD and container platforms, currently driving platform strategy and delivery at Xcel Energy. He has launched multiple greenfield systems—from Jenkins, SonarQube and Artifactory to GitLab CI on AWS Fargate and full GitOps stacks with ArgoCD, Helm, Crossplane and Kaniko—optimizing cost and automation for tens of thousands of jobs. Jared blends a multidisciplinary engineering background (mechanical, architectural, chemical) with hands-on SRE, DevOps and release leadership to turn experimental projects into standard operating practice. He mentors engineers across levels, champions observability and load-testing, and has presented at cloud conferences with AWS featuring his work. An early adopter of AI tooling in platform engineering, he emphasizes practical codification so teams ship reliably and confidently. Less obvious: his Elixir-trained engineering philosophy—"make it work, make it performant, make it pretty"—continues to shape his emphasis on maintainable, high-quality pipelines.
