Summary
Jessie Puls is a DevOps consultant and software engineer with over 10 years of experience designing, automating, and operating production systems. They led a major migration from a decade of hand-crafted on-premises infrastructure to an automated AWS platform using Terraform, Puppet, and CI/CD pipelines, improving reliability and team autonomy. Jessie has balanced hands-on technical leadership with people management, guiding teams as a development manager and technical lead to adopt agile practices and modern delivery workflows. Their background spans consulting and in-house roles across industries—from government services to media and insurance—bringing pragmatic solutions that scale. Based in Madison, WI, Jessie favors projects that pair smart collaborators with meaningful challenges and often surfaces durable process improvements rather than quick fixes. An underrated strength is turning institutional “tribal knowledge” into repeatable, documented infrastructure and practices that survive team turnover.
