Top SchoolJoseph Phan is a Principal Production Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure, currently driving production reliability at Palo Alto Networks and CyberArk. He specializes in Kubernetes, GitOps, SRE practices, and automation—advocating “automate, automate, automate” and designing systems that make it hard to do the wrong thing. At WhiteHat he led the Kubernetes migration, authored Go operators and an Envoy control plane, and ran workshops to upskill engineering teams, blending engineering leadership with deep implementation work. Joseph pairs a master's in computer engineering from Santa Clara University with practical skills in Terraform, Kapitan, Ansible, and observability tooling to scale services safely. He actively promotes a culture that reframes failure as learning, and his background in data mining and teaching suggests a pragmatic, educational approach to complex system design.
