Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLance Hudson is a senior DevSecOps leader with 12+ years designing and operating multi-cloud platforms for global streaming at Paramount, where he leads platform security, CI/CD, and cloud governance supporting ~900 engineers and 4,000+ containerized apps. He combines hands-on cloud architecture (40 Kubernetes clusters across GCP, AWS, OCI) with enterprise risk and compliance ownership—driving PCI-aligned security, Terraform policy guardrails, and event-readiness for Super Bowl broadcasts. Lance has a track record of improving reliability (99.9% uptime, eliminated SRE-attributed RCAs) while cutting costs and scaling delivery (> $3M YoY savings and CI/CD growth without headcount increases). A pragmatic builder who moved Jenkins to GitOps, standardized ingress/WAF controls, and contributed DevOps fixes to the widely used octodns project, he blends open-source sensibility with enterprise discipline. He holds an MS in Information Security and looks for director-to-VP opportunities to scale platform security and reliability in large or growth-stage companies.
