Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoel Gilley is a DevOps manager and infrastructure architect with 11 years of focused experience building cloud-native, containerized platforms and CI/CD pipelines across startups and enterprises. Based in New York, he has led and scaled engineering teams at Bluesight and MakeSpace, and driven hands-on migrations to Kubernetes, Docker, AWS/GCP/Azure, and bare-metal environments. Joel’s background spans video platforms, big data ingestion at Columbia University, and rapid prototyping from early embedded systems to modern cloud stacks, giving him a rare blend of systems-level depth and product-facing delivery. He’s known for introducing developer-driven CI/CD and Kubernetes in teams, and for pragmatic infrastructure choices that balance automation with real-world ops. Notably, his career traces continuous technical ownership—from low-level C/C++ and transcoding work to orchestrating serverless and container ecosystems—so he brings both legacy-system empathy and modern DevOps muscle.
