Summary
🤩
RockstarJo Rhett is a Staff Cloud Infrastructure Engineer based in San Jose with over three decades of hands-on experience designing and automating large-scale Internet services and 12 years in senior cloud roles. He builds developer-centric tooling and security-conscious deployment frameworks that make provisioning, observability, and validation simpler and less risky for engineering teams. Jo has led infrastructure bootstraps, zero-downtime migrations, and Metal-as-a-Service builds for HPC and ML workloads across AWS, GCP, and on-prem data centers, often creating custom Puppet/Ansible types and providers. He authors widely used Puppet books and contributes DevOps-focused work such as Homebrew-integrated build tooling for troglobit/inadyn, reflecting deep expertise in release and build systems. Known for turning chaotic "do-it" practices into auditable, self-healing platforms, he blends pragmatic engineering with InfoSec leadership to enable autonomous but compliant teams. Beyond tooling, Jo’s rare mix of networking, systems, and security experience lets him solve thorny operational problems that others defer to specialists for.
