Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Bragato is a seasoned Software Technical Lead based in Raleigh with over a decade of hands-on experience building Python web applications and DevOps automation for large-scale network and managed services. At Cisco he blends backend development (Flask, MongoDB, Celery, RabbitMQ) with SRE and deployment automation (Ansible, Docker, CI/CD) to shrink multi-month rollouts to single-day operations while hardening security across the release pipeline. He has deep UNIX and operations roots from earlier roles, where he engineered digital asset systems, ETL pipelines, and image-processing automation that scaled e-commerce sites. Known for pragmatic automation, he drives observability and preemptive failure detection to reduce customer impact on both hosted and on-prem platforms. John pairs developer empathy with operator rigor, mentoring teams to deliver repeatable, secure deployments and developer-to-field tooling that streamlines complex network upgrades. His unconventional background—a BA in Political Science turned systems engineer—helps him translate business requirements into auditable, practical technical solutions.
