Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Maynard is a Director of Platform Engineering with eight years in platform and DevOps leadership, currently running a team that supports infrastructure, build, and IT for a mobile gaming studio in Los Angeles. He has a strong track record of reducing costs and operational overhead through IaC (Terraform) migrations, moving backend data from Cassandra to DynamoDB, and modernizing build pipelines on AWS to accelerate developer productivity. Hands-on from networking to cloud, he pioneered ELK and LogicMonitor deployments earlier in his career and transitioned Kubernetes to EKS while automating deployments via Python chatops. Equally comfortable architecting platforms and coaching engineers, he blends entrepreneurial initiative—evidenced by side projects like Homes Burlington Vermont and Loveopolis—with disciplined delivery and cross-team collaboration.
