Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Alberts is a senior cloud operations and DevOps engineer with 15+ years of hands-on experience (and over 20 years in IT) designing and automating large-scale, production cloud platforms for companies like Amazon, Twitch, Samsung, and Lexipol. He specializes in AWS serverless and container architectures, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation), CI/CD automation, and observability, having led migrations to fully serverless environments and built reusable Terraform modules that cut provisioning time by over 60%. A pragmatic engineer and mentor, he has led small DevOps teams, delivered high-impact professional services engagements, and consistently improved developer workflows with custom tooling (including Terraform wrappers and Jenkins libraries). His open-source contributions span operational tooling and app integrations—adding Marathon/HAProxy flexibility and expanding Heimdall dashboard app support—showing he still digs into scripts and UI code when it moves the needle. Based in Mission Viejo, CA, he pairs deep Linux and systems roots with modern cloud-first design, and is known for turning complex migration challenges into repeatable, automated platforms.
