Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosiah Ritchie is a Senior DevSecOps practitioner with 15 years of experience building resilient, repeatable platform and hybrid cloud infrastructure for both commercial SaaS and Department of Defense environments. He currently leads platform engineering efforts for PEO Digital, standardizing cloud-native foundations, GitOps pipelines, and continuous ATOs to accelerate Navy software modernization. Past roles include hands-on operations of a high-throughput SaaS (5.5k RPM, 1.2M emails/day) and designing IaaS/PaaS solutions for nonprofits and on-prem data centers, giving him a rare blend of scale-focused and bespoke deployments. He specializes in Kubernetes, Istio, Zero Trust, and software supply chain security but is equally comfortable with terraform/ansible-driven IaC and legacy-to-cloud migrations. Colleagues rely on him to remove repetitive infrastructure work so mission teams can concentrate on domain-specific problems—an approach rooted in his long history of owning platforms end-to-end. Based in Virginia, he pairs operational rigor with pragmatic leadership learned from running teams and businesses across nonprofit, government, and commercial contexts.
