Summary
Joe Yennaco is a Senior DevOps Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building, automating, and sustaining complex, highly available systems for defense and commercial customers. He combines deep troubleshooting instincts with strong scripting and automation skills (Java, Python, Ruby, Shell, Chef) to streamline CI/CD, PaaS/BaaS/TaaS deployments, and system configuration across AWS, milCloud, VMware, and OpenShift. Joe has led large distributed test events and production support for ISR and C2 programs, bringing uncommon fluency in tactical data links (Link 16, JREAP C, Link 11) and Track Management services. He has a track record of creating productivity tools and repeatable deployment architectures—such as automated CONS3RT installs and a Java email-to-ticket monitor—that reduced manual effort and enabled continuous integration. With an MS in Software Engineering and an active DoD Top Secret clearance, he thrives at the intersection of systems engineering, test orchestration, and operational support. Based in Massachusetts, he also contributes practical open-source utilities like a macOS media importer, reflecting a pragmatic, utility-driven approach to tooling.
