Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Declario is a Senior DevOps Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building and operating large-scale, automated infrastructure across finance, media, and security-focused startups. He has led CI/CD and cloud migrations that supported hundreds of developers and dozens of production applications, routinely enabling 50+ daily deployments through custom Jenkins, Ansible, Chef, and Python automation. Nicholas has deep AWS expertise—from CloudFormation/Troposphere scripting and ECS/EKS container platforms to Lambda and security-focused services like IAM, KMS, and AWS Config—and a track record of cost-conscious designs such as spot cluster scaling. His background spans low-level systems work (build systems, kernel tweaks, RPM/FreeBSD packaging) to modern microservices, giving him rare breadth across OS, build, and cloud layers. Based in New Jersey, he’s known for translating complex operational pain points into pragmatic automation and has repeatedly driven measurable savings and stability improvements. An engineer who enjoys rebuilding tooling, he once created a cross-platform package manager and custom deployment manifests that simplified large-scale container operations.
