Summary
Justin Mccormick is a Senior Staff DevOps Engineer with 12 years of experience building and operating large-scale education software platforms from early microservices to enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure. Based in Indianapolis, he specializes in AWS architecture, Kubernetes, Helm, and IaC (Terraform), and has guided organizations through a DevOps-to-platform evolution during a major corporate merger. He combines hands-on software engineering roots—authoring APIs, ETL and backend services—with systems architecture and security-minded infrastructure design to deliver scalable, compliant solutions including FedRAMP-moderate efforts. A proven technical leader and mentor, Justin drives strategic decisions, fosters cross-functional collaboration, and has a knack for turning legacy systems into modern, containerized services. Notably, his early work implementing message-queue-driven image processing foreshadowed his later focus on resilient microservices and platform thinking.
