Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLiam Mcbride is a Senior Software Engineer based in Chicago with six years building cloud-native infrastructure focused on Kubernetes, networking, and automation. He has driven platform reliability and cost reduction at scale—managing 30+ clusters, migrating 38 clusters with zero downtime, and realizing $100k/year savings through environment deprecation and right-sizing. His work spans Terraform IaC, Go microservices (including HAProxy config tooling), TypeScript UIs, and AWS networking, with a track record of enabling self-service platforms for hundreds of engineers. Liam has hands-on incident experience as an incident commander and on-call engineer, and he codified runbooks and review processes to improve governance. He pairs a Chemical Engineering degree with a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach to infrastructure, often turning operational pain points into automated, auditable solutions. Notably, he reduced a failed deployment recovery time from one hour to under two minutes by reengineering HAProxy deployment flows.
