Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Sambolin is a Senior Infrastructure Engineer in New York with a decade of experience simplifying complex cloud and Kubernetes landscapes and accelerating AWS migrations. He blends hands-on SRE and DevOps skills—Terraform, Terragrunt, AWS CDK, EKS, Helm, and CI/CD automation—with a knack for diagnosing issues before they cascade, often finding cost savings in over-provisioned systems. At Venmo he led Kubernetes and Elasticsearch migrations and at Flex he builds self-service developer tools and manages hundreds of Kubernetes deployments. An active problem-solver in open source, he contributed a stability fix to the popular Serverless Framework to handle AWS “no updates” edge cases. He pairs systems-level rigor with practical automation to make infrastructure safer, cheaper, and easier to operate.
