Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Schroeder is a Senior Staff Site Reliability Engineer with 15+ years of deep systems and DevOps experience, specializing in creating LSB-compliant Linux distributions, cloud-native deployments, and automation for complex platforms. Currently at ForgeRock, he builds DevOps tooling to deploy identity platforms to Kubernetes, and his open-source contributions include operational improvements to ForgeRock/forgeops like TLS secret cleanup and CSI driver updates for AKS/GKE. He has a long history of architecting and packaging OS-level solutions—leading distro projects, custom installers and build systems—and translating that kernel-to-cloud expertise into containerized, CI/CD-driven platforms at companies such as Nimbix and Blue Coat. Comfortable across Python, Go, C/C++ and a broad toolchain (Puppet, Ansible/puppet ecosystems, Terraform, Helm, Jenkins, Docker, K8s, OpenStack, AWS), he combines low-level systems craftsmanship with modern infrastructure automation. Based in Austin, he brings practical IP-aware engineering habits from early Linux appliance work to scalable identity and HPC cloud deployments.
