Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLevi Blaney is a Principal DevOps Engineer based in Las Vegas with over a decade of hands-on experience designing highly available, fault-tolerant AWS infrastructure and leading cross-functional CloudOps teams. He blends platform engineering, SRE, security, and automation expertise—proficient in Terraform, Kubernetes, Ansible, Jenkins, Python, and Node.js—to deliver scalable, production-ready systems. Levi has a track record of practical open-source contributions, notably improving testing and CLI workflows in the aws-ia/taskcat project and adding event-driven capabilities to OctoPrint’s backend. An entrepreneurial founder who grew a managed IT business from high-school roots into a cloud-reselling and monitoring firm, he pairs engineering rigor with a maker’s instinct—building rockets and carpentry projects when not optimizing pipelines. Currently seeking Kubernetes and DevOps opportunities where he can apply both leadership and deep implementation skills.

Contributions summary:Levi contributed to the `taskcat` project by implementing features related to testing and resource management within the CloudFormation environment. Their work included adding and then reverting state management to the `Test` class, indicating a focus on improving the testing process. Further contributions involved refactoring the `_cli_modules/test.py` file, which suggests work on the core functionality of the CLI testing tool. This is confirmed with refactoring to use a `TestManager` class to run the tests and changes to how the terminal printer is handled.
