Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Decello is a seasoned systems architect with 30+ years of UNIX and infrastructure experience and 11 years focused on cloud, SRE, and DevOps roles, currently designing and automating core infrastructure for Zscaler’s cloud platform from network to workload. He has a proven track record of dramatically accelerating deployments and reducing cloud costs through automation—examples include 300–500% faster VM deployments, 350% higher TCP throughput with no CPU increase, and major CI/CD and OpenStack migrations. Comfortable across public and private clouds, Kubernetes at scale, Ansible, Salt, Terraform, and configuration management, he blends deep kernel/TCP tuning expertise with pragmatic orchestration to deliver secure, auditable systems that meet FedRAMP-level requirements. Joe prefers focused, local full-time roles and is deliberate about recruiter outreach, reflecting a practitioner who values high-signal engagements over volume. A longtime operator who has rebuilt deployment stacks for WildFire, MediaFirst, and large-scale CDNs, he quietly pairs broad architectural vision with hands-on scripting and automation to make complex systems reliably operable.
