Summary
Karyn Cassio is a Senior Consultant in Container Infrastructure with 10+ years building cloud-native platforms, DevOps practices, and automated operations across enterprises. Based in Colorado, she combines deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, GCP, Terraform, Docker, Puppet, and Jenkins with a strong background in Drupal and web systems dating back to the early 2000s. At Red Hat she focuses on container infrastructure, and at DaVita she led efforts to shift hundreds of IT employees to a DevOps mindset while architecting VM patch automation in Go and Puppet. She’s equally comfortable designing developer onboarding and lab environments as she is writing CI pipelines and custom infrastructure tooling, and she has an MBA layered on top of a CS degree that helps bridge technical solutions and organizational change. A former Linux instructor and long-time contributor to operational excellence, she often surfaces process improvements that reduce onboarding time and increase deployment reliability.
