Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Kulka is a senior DevOps engineer with 13+ years building and operating large-scale Linux infrastructure and developer platforms across companies from Facebook and Dropbox to NVIDIA. He blends hands-on systems work—automation with Chef, Terraform, Kubernetes and CI tooling—with a recent shift toward software engineering in Python and Go to broaden his impact. At Dropbox he led developer environments across Linux, Windows and Mac, replacing ad-hoc scripts with templated IaC and scaling Mac CI on AWS; at Parchment he architected containerized deployments and Terraform rollout processes as Director of Production Engineering. Colleague-focused and comfortable mentoring or leading small teams, he prefers pragmatic tooling choices and maintains a home lab where he experiments, restores pinball machines and works on cars. Based in Raleigh, NC, he brings deep operational instincts honed since the early days of home computing and a reputation for turning brittle processes into repeatable, auditable services.
