Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristen Trzonkowski is a Site Reliability Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building and optimizing cloud-native systems, currently helping commercetools scale API-first commerce platforms. She blends deep operational know-how (AWS, Terraform, Vault) with a developer’s mindset from prior roles as Principal DevOps and full-stack/ mobile engineer, routinely automating infrastructure and CI/CD to cut costs and improve reliability. Kristen has a proven track record of pragmatic cost-saving measures—an EC2 scheduler that slashed bills by 70% and infrastructure guardrails for HIPAA-compliance—while maintaining high availability under pressure. Comfortable untangling legacy “Jenga” codebases, she quickly learns new languages and tools to ship robust solutions independently or in cross-functional teams. Based in Elon, NC, she pairs relentless problem-solving energy (self-described “weaponized compulsion”) with a cheerful, collaborative approach that accelerates delivery. Her background spans startups to enterprise healthcare and commerce, giving her a rare mix of agility and compliance-aware architecture.
