Summary
Kevin Stark is a Senior DevOps Engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable CI/CD and cloud-native infrastructure, currently leading DevOps efforts at Rewind after a multi-year Senior Software Engineer tenure at Tasktop. He specializes in transforming monolithic codebases and delivery pipelines—at Tasktop he rebuilt a customer portal (React/TypeScript/Django/GraphQL) and shrank the codebase by ~80% while enabling zero-downtime, daily deployments via GitHub Actions, Docker, Terraform and AWS. Kevin blends hands-on systems work (Ansible, Jenkins, ECS/Fargate, Spot Fleets) with developer experience improvements, championing Python tooling and automated configuration testing to raise team confidence. A former professional actor, he brings strong communication and mentorship to cross-functional teams, accelerating release cadence from monthly to continuous delivery. Based in Maple Ridge, BC, he pairs practical engineering rigor with a creative background that helps him simplify complex systems and lead others through change.
