Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Davis is an application engineer and SRE with eight years of experience ensuring five‑9s reliability for high-throughput digital payments systems across Kubernetes, AWS, and hybrid cloud environments. He specializes in bridging development and production by building tooling and runbooks that shift teams from reactive firefighting to programmatic operational readiness and faster incident resolution. At Discover and now Capital One he automated log-driven audits, implemented Aurora clusters and automated failover, and built Ansible and CI/CD playbooks to support mission‑critical payment services. Kevin pairs hands‑on automation (Python, Helm, Ansible) with observability and alerting frameworks to make complex systems self-diagnosing, and he’s exploring AI-driven runbooks and personal recommendation services as side projects. An Industrial & Operations Engineering graduate from the University of Michigan, he brings a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to reliability engineering that favors automation over process.
