Summary
Liam Mackenzie is a pragmatic Senior System Engineer based in Brisbane with six years of focused experience building secure, scalable infrastructure and operational platforms across academia, telecoms, and cloud-native environments. He has led end-to-end projects—from founding infrastructure for a hosting provider to architecting production-grade Kubernetes clusters, GitOps pipelines, and a high-throughput SIEM ingesting millions of logs per minute. Known for clear communication and mentoring, Liam blends hands-on Linux/DevOps expertise (Terraform, FluxCD, Ansible, Vault) with a strong security posture and disaster-recovery discipline. He pairs operational rigor with an entrepreneurial streak—having run a seaside resort and bootstrapped infrastructure businesses—which influences his practical, cost-aware engineering decisions.
