Jay Farrimond is a hands-on DevOps and SRE leader with 14 years of experience building and operating large-scale infrastructure for startups and hyperscalers. He has led DevOps teams and owned end-to-end platform reliability, from Kubernetes and Ceph on bare metal to cloud migrations and high-performance data pipelines for ML-driven imaging. Currently an SRE for YouTube Creator Studio at Google, he previously built resilient CI/CD, monitoring, and multi-terabyte storage systems for companies like Prenav, Primer.ai, and Rollbar. Jay started as a C programmer on Windows and has deep operational expertise across MySQL, Redis, PostgreSQL, Prometheus/Grafana, and Jenkins. He pairs technical depth with product-minded leadership—having cut developer onboarding times dramatically and architected systems that support both surge-scale gaming and petabyte-class imaging workloads. Based in Belmont, CA, he combines an academic foundation (Duke BS, UTSA MBA) with a knack for turning messy infrastructure into reproducible, deploy-at-will platforms.
