JJ Mckeever
Summary
👤
SeniorMckeever Mckeever is a DevOps and engineering leader with 9 years of hands-on experience building cloud-native, secure, and auditable systems for startups, enterprise fintech, and robotics companies. He led Custodia Bank’s transformation from local Docker setups to an AWS EKS-based cryptocurrency custodian that passed pentests and maintains multi-million dollar custody, and previously drove resiliency and CI/CD modernization at Boston Dynamics. Known for an “industriously lazy” approach, he prioritizes efficiency by eliminating recurring toil—ephemeral dev environments, Terraform-driven migrations, and automated pipelines are recurring themes in his work. He pairs technical execution (Go APIs, Kubernetes, Vault, Datadog) with team-building and mentoring, having promoted and upskilled engineers under his leadership. Based in Salt Lake City, he also brings operational discipline from military satellite-communications experience and current volunteer firefighting that shapes his calm under pressure.
