Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Ericson is a Platform Engineering Manager with 12 years of hands-on experience building reliable, automated infrastructure and continuous delivery pipelines across finance, transport, and energy sectors. Based in Wellington, he excels in Linux, Python, Ansible, Kubernetes/OpenShift and hybrid Windows–VMware environments, and has moved teams from manual ops to fully automated, auditable deployments. He’s a practitioner-leader who mentors engineers, writes clear documentation, and champions agile principles while still contributing code — notably improving WinRM support in the widely used Vagrant project. His career includes delivering greenfield CD for big-data and microservice platforms, Kubernetes operators for orchestration, and critical-market system automation at Transpower. He’s equally comfortable debugging low-level platform issues and designing developer self-service workflows that reduce toil and speed delivery.
