Paulus Fitzek is a Head of Infrastructure based in the San Francisco Bay Area with over a decade of experience building and operating resilient cloud and on-prem IT systems. He blends hands-on Linux administration, advanced Git workflows, CI/CD (Jenkins/Bamboo/GitLab), and AWS Serverless patterns with deep expertise in configuration management (SaltStack/Puppet) and centralized patch management. Paulus has a strong full-stack background—including PHP/Magento, Java/WebObjects, and frontend work—and a proven track record migrating legacy VCS to Git and optimizing web/database stacks for performance. As a team-minded leader he emphasizes knowledge sharing, secure remote operations (Cisco VPN, 2FA) and pragmatic debugging at scale. An uncommon detail: he has experience transcompiling C to JavaScript and tuning Intel vs GCC compilations, showing a curiosity for low-level performance trade-offs alongside infrastructure leadership.
