Summary
Jeffrey Gebhardt is a Software Engineer II specializing in SRE with over a decade of experience building and operating secure, highly available infrastructure for large-scale services. He combines strong Python, automation, and cloud skills with a background in information security and networking—rooted in DoD-grade practices and a TS/SCI clearance. At Microsoft he led global database deployments and built org-wide tooling for performance testing; at TikTok he continues to apply that production-first mindset to site reliability challenges. Jeffrey’s career blends hands-on DevOps (Ansible, AWS, CI/CD) with deep operational experience from the U.S. Air Force, where he managed critical communications and compliant networks. He recently returned to Seattle after completing a 2,700-mile PCT thru-hike, bringing renewed energy and resilience to high-pressure engineering work. Colleagues value his pragmatic problem-solving, ability to reduce toil, and knack for turning complex infrastructure needs into automated, auditable solutions.
