Summary
🤩
RockstarKyle Bloom is a Citizen IT Developer with a decade of hands-on experience building automation, DevOps, and cross-platform software solutions from the Isle of Man. He has modernised CI/CD pipelines and multi-platform build systems—most notably streamlining Deskflow’s GitHub Actions workflows and release automation to support Windows, macOS and Linux builds. At Symless he cut AWS costs in half, rebuilt a Next.js/Prisma website for better performance and customer engagement, and improved native OS integration for a smoother user experience. Kyle blends low-level operational fixes (deadlock resolution, memory/performance tuning) with higher-level automation using Power Automate, Azure Functions and C#, enabling teams to intervene only when necessary. He’s comfortable scaling CI to on-prem runners and integrating legacy Windows apps into web frontends, a combination that makes him effective across cloud, desktop and enterprise tooling. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic engineering that reduces operational overhead while keeping user needs front and center.
