Kira Boyle is a Site Reliability Engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure, primarily coding in Go and focused on DevOps practices. She has deep roots in Cloud Foundry, BOSH, and Concourse from her Pivotal/VMware days and has evolved into Kubernetes and Vault-driven architectures at companies including Replicated, Procore, Mozilla, and Veeam. Kira has led teams, mentored engineers on SLIs/SLOs, and driven migrations (SSM→Vault, Terraform work across clouds), while contributing to notable open-source projects like kots and pcf-pipelines. Comfortable across languages and platforms—Clojure, Python, mobile, and Azure/AWS/GCP—she blends hands-on engineering with infrastructure automation and CI/CD craftsmanship. Based in Oregon, she pairs pragmatic system design with a curiosity for improving observability and deployment safety that often surfaces in tooling and pipeline improvements.
