Top SchoolMsg John is a seasoned infrastructure and security leader with 11 years of experience building and operating large-scale production systems, currently serving as Director of Core Infrastructure and Infrastructure Security at Scribd in San Francisco. He has a proven track record scaling platforms, from designing multi-datacenter architectures and Hadoop/Spark clusters to introducing DevOps practices, centralized logging, and on-call/bug-bounty programs. Previously he led infrastructure and operations teams through acquisitions, product pivots, and major migrations at organizations including Brigade, Ampush, and Pulse (acquired by Mozilla). He blends hands-on systems engineering with strategic vendor and budget management, routinely lowering MTTD/MTTR while keeping costs controlled during rapid growth. Trained in incident handling through DHS SENTINEL coursework and an early entrepreneur who sold a hosting business, he brings both security-focused discipline and operator pragmatism. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic, customer-first, and unphased by plot twists—comfortable navigating ambiguity to deliver resilient, auditable infrastructure.
