Summary
Paul Reece is a seasoned Linux DevOps consultant with 12+ years managing petabyte-scale storage, networking, and cloud infrastructure for high-throughput content delivery and SaaS customers. He built and operated large Ceph, OpenStack, and Kubernetes deployments, invented storage mitigations for high drive-failure rates, and automated complex workflows with Ansible, Salt, Puppet and Jenkins pipelines. Comfortable from low-level protocol reverse-engineering to BGP routing automation and Vault-backed secrets management, he’s the go-to troubleshooter for cross-domain incidents and top-revenue clients. Paul also designed network analytics and testing tooling (leveraging Netflow/sFlow, ELK, pmacct and PostgreSQL) and led monitoring transformations with Prometheus/Grafana/Thanos and Nagios. Based in Detroit, he runs his consulting LLC and brings a practical blend of hands-on systems engineering and field-facing client leadership—his contributions even earned him a Ceph Quincy T-shirt credit.
