Summary
Patrick Regan is a Strategic Account Manager and seasoned solutions architect with 16 years of experience helping enterprise customers adopt open source technologies, currently focused on automotive customers across Michigan and Ohio. With a computer science background and an SRE/systems foundation, he blends technical depth in automation, virtualization, and cloud with empathetic engineering practices to reduce toil and deliver measurable business outcomes. At Red Hat he’s progressed from hands-on architecture and pre-sales to leading teams that translate complex IT challenges into sustainable, community-driven solutions. He’s equally comfortable mapping product fits as he is building observability and reliability pipelines—a perspective shaped by early SRE and large-scale logging work. Based in Akron, Ohio, Patrick is known for driving culture change as much as technical change, making engineering processes more humane and efficient.
