Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoel Weirauch is a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer with 11 years of experience building and leading SRE/DevOps teams to deliver secure, observable, cloud-native platforms across AWS, GCP, and Azure. He currently leads a team migrating and modernizing infrastructure—focusing on Kubernetes, Terraform/Terragrunt, Helm, and service tooling like Vault, Consul, Prometheus/Grafana, and Loki—to enable self-service platforms for engineering teams. Joel blends hands-on backend development in Python, Go and Java with platform engineering, having migrated large VM fleets into Kubernetes and productized terraform/helm pipelines for multi-cloud deployments. He prefers roles that let him build tools and microservices rather than only owning CI/CD plumbing, and he actively mentors engineers and evangelizes cloud-native best practices. Based in western North Carolina and committed to fully remote work, he brings both startup grit (co-founding and shipping SaaS) and enterprise-grade automation experience. A practical problem-solver, he pairs infrastructure security and observability improvements with developer ergonomics to accelerate delivery.
