Summary
John Stacy is a DevSecOps engineer with 8 years in cloud-native and security-focused software delivery, and over two decades of systems and embedded development experience dating back to aerospace and energy domains. He blends low-level expertise in C/C++ and Unix tooling with modern CI/CD and orchestration skills—GitLab pipelines, Ansible, Helm, Docker, and Kubernetes—to harden and automate deployments for defense programs. At Seed Innovations he has led SRE and platform efforts for AI/ML and CDAO initiatives, updating hardened Iron Bank containers and streamlining Helm-driven Kubernetes rollouts. Comfortable as a hands-on developer, scrum lead, and systems integrator, he has repeatedly bridged development, test, and operations on complex, distributed systems. His background in computer security (MS, USC) and long tenure at Boeing give him a practical edge in building auditable, production-ready pipelines for mission-critical environments.
