👤
SeniorJeffrey Hulten is a Sr. Systems Engineer in Seattle with 17 years of hands-on experience driving infrastructure automation, release and change management, and operations for organizations ranging from startups to enterprise media. He combines deep generalist skills—DevOps, security, metrics, and system architecture—with a track record of process reengineering that eliminates roles and simplifies delivery, like turning release engineering into an automated repeatable function.

He pairs practical tooling experience (Chef, Puppet, CI/CD pipelines, SONAR, JIRA) with auditing and measurement expertise to make operational risk visible and manageable. Outside of day-to-day engineering he has advised and governed nonprofit initiatives and regularly presents at user groups, reflecting a blend of technical depth and community engagement.
