Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathaniel Rodriguez is an AWS-certified platform engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, cloud-native systems and developer tooling across finance, design, and academic research. He has a strong track record in Python-based RESTful API development, automated testing, and cost-optimizing cloud migrations—most notably reducing JPMC operating costs by an order of magnitude while re-architecting high-traffic transaction search services. Nathaniel co-created a self-monitoring runbook automation platform that dynamically responds to alerts and applies fixes, saving teams thousands of SRE hours and reducing false positives across multiple monitoring systems. He pairs hands-on infrastructure work (Terraform, EKS, DynamoDB, CloudWatch) with a developer-first approach to onboarding and internal tooling, and currently focuses on preproduction environment automation and sandbox lifecycle management. Based in Chicago, he blends research-driven problem solving from his quantum nano-photonics work with practical production delivery, and is inspired to merge work and play in his projects.
