Summary
Nicanor Flavier is a Melbourne-based DevOps engineer with 15 years in IT and seven years focused on cloud, automation, and platform reliability. A Linux power user and polyglot programmer (Python, PowerShell, Golang, Rust), he designs and operationalises AWS infrastructure using IaC (troposphere, CloudFormation, CDK) and maintains CI/CD pipelines and SRE tooling to drive down MTTR. He blends hands-on automation—scripts and Ansible playbooks—to eliminate toil with security-first practices, including IAM reviews, WAF tuning, and vulnerability remediation. Nicanor has led cross-functional projects such as internal proxy failover for payment gateways and PostgreSQL redundancy planning while mentoring regional DevOps teams. His background spans Linux systems administration, virtualization, and full-stack development, giving him an unusual ability to bridge legacy on-prem environments and modern cloud-native operations.
