Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Adams is a Senior NetDevOps Platform Engineer and SRE with over three decades of enterprise networking and solutions architecture experience, currently leading platform and automation efforts at Cox Communications. He designs and implements cloud-native Kubernetes platforms, NetDevOps pipelines, and service lifecycle tooling—often building custom Helm charts, microservices in Python and Go, and integrating HashiCorp Vault for secure secret management. Kevin blends hands-on device provisioning (Juniper, Cisco, Arista) with scalable automation, having authored provisioning “kickstart” scripts that turn new hardware into production-ready nodes. A pragmatic leader and mentor, he bridges vendors, engineering teams, and clients to deliver resilient, auditable systems while driving cost-saving infrastructure improvements. He is also an active contributor to the well-known Kamailio SIP server, improving presence and shared-call-appearance functionality—an indication of deep protocol-level and back-end expertise beyond typical platform work. Based in Michigan, he runs a consulting practice that pairs strategic IT planning with hands-on delivery for continuous availability and business continuity.
