Senior🎓
Top SchoolKyle Olsen is a Lead Solutions Architect with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and delivering cloud and DevOps solutions, currently focused on AWS at Rackspace Technology. He has led large-scale migrations, hybrid telematics platforms, and cost-optimization efforts for Fortune 500 clients across Europe and the US, blending deep operational experience with automation-driven tooling. Kyle’s background spans from low-level systems and data center automation to serverless backup and monitoring solutions, and he has repeatedly rebuilt legacy systems for dramatic performance gains. Based in Portland, he brings a pragmatic, slightly irreverent DevOps mindset—equally comfortable scripting infrastructure as he is refining runbooks—and even admits to being more into general nerdery and cooking than buzzword-driven “passion about automation.”
