Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeffrey Gillis is a Lead Software Engineer with 11 years of experience designing resilient, production-grade infrastructure and developer tooling for Kubernetes-based platforms. He has a strong background in building CI/CD pipelines, secure deployment automation with Terraform/Consul/Vault, centralized logging and monitoring stacks, and bespoke operational tools (including Elixir services) to manage large-scale background workloads. At Appian he focuses on services that support deployment and maintenance of enterprise software, building on prior senior roles at Optoro and Storyblocks where he migrated apps to bare-metal Kubernetes and mentored engineering teams. Based in Clayton, NC, he blends systems thinking with hands-on implementation and a track record of turning infrastructure challenges into repeatable processes that accelerate delivery. An under-the-radar strength is his history of creating custom tools (from secret-migration scripts to web dashboards) that bridge developer experience and production reliability.
