Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Kelley is a Senior Cloud Engineer with a decade of hands-on IT experience and over five years focused on designing, automating, and operating AWS infrastructure for both enterprise and customer-facing environments. He blends a software-first background—experience in Dev, SRE, and automation—with day-to-day incident response and cloud migrations, enabling development teams to scale reliably. At Pilot Flying J he leads cloud expansion and optimization work, and previously ran SRE and client-facing infrastructure at a small consultancy where he also estimated and delivered contract engagements. Outside of engineering he studies multiple languages, sings, and pursues interests in business development and Catholic theology, bringing uncommon cultural and communication depth to technical leadership. He’s approachable for mentoring early-career engineers and enjoys conversations with entrepreneurs about practical, buildable solutions.
