Summary
Leia Renée is a Platform Engineer based in Hoofddorp with five years focused on cloud-native, GitOps-driven infrastructure and scalable microservices. She designs and operates Kubernetes platforms on AWS EKS using Terraform/OpenTofu, ArgoCD, Helm and cost-conscious optimizations like spot instances, Graviton and Karpenter. Her background spans serverless architectures, CI/CD automation across GitHub Actions, GitLab and CodeBuild, and building self-service developer platforms that accelerate delivery. Leia pairs SRE discipline with hands-on automation—she’s reduced provisioning time through IaC and automated isolated test environments for safer releases. Outside core tooling she brings a broad systems pedigree from PLC/SCADA automation to network and database administration, which informs her pragmatic approach to reliability and efficiency. She is openly transgender and shares views on tech independently of her employers.
