Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarl Quinsland is an SRE with 11 years of hands-on experience building and automating resilient cloud infrastructure from bare metal to AWS and EKS. He specializes in Terraform, observability stacks, incident management, and containerizing ML/CUDA workloads, consistently cutting provisioning times and recurring costs. A serial tool-smith, Karl automates everything with a pragmatic focus on reducing toil—if it has an API he’s thought about automating it, and if it has a sensor he’s likely taught it to speak MQTT. He’s driven large migrations, DNS failover strategies, and platform-wide observability rollouts while mentoring teams on production-grade patterns. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he prefers predominantly remote SRE/Ops roles and brings proven remote-work discipline from prior employers. Outside work he publishes personal CAD/CAM, electronics, and automation projects that reflect a blend of curiosity and applied engineering.
