Vienna, Austria
Summary
🤩
RockstarKatie Holly is a DevOps Technical Lead with 12 years of experience building and operating high-throughput, cost-conscious infrastructure for large-scale consumer platforms and mass-archival projects. Based in Vienna, she has led DevOps teams at VRChat and Archive Team, architecting petabyte-scale storage, globally distributed monitoring, and automated recovery practices that cut incident recovery times dramatically. Her work spans network-to-application layers—designing low-latency tracker databases, terabyte-scale RedisBloom clusters for deduplication, and DDoS/WAF protections—while driving migrations from managed SaaS to self-hosted stacks for better cost and operational control. A linux/bsd and anycast enthusiast, she pairs deep NetOps expertise (layers 3–7) with pragmatic automation, observability, and security-first design. She also founded a consultancy, contributes to open-source tooling to support platform scalability, and mentors distributed volunteer teams, bringing both hands-on engineering and operational leadership. An information archivist and data hoarder by practice, she has a knack for turning messy legacy systems into reliable, efficient services.
