Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Hewitt is a Principal DevOps Engineer with 11+ years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure, SRE practices, and developer tooling across startups and enterprise teams. He specializes in AWS, Kubernetes, service meshes, and automation—having built multi-region Terragrunt/Terraform platforms, cluster fleets for CI/CD, and operators that integrate environment status back into GitHub PRs. Peter is a pragmatic generalist who began as a successful Android and web developer, which helps him bridge mobile, backend, and infrastructure teams to deliver end-to-end features like claims processing and member enrollment systems. At Beam Dental he combined IoT, mobile, and backend work (BLE toothbrush integration, OCR for paper claims, and behavior-reward engines) to tackle real consumer problems, and at Upstart he led migrations, RBAC integrations with Okta, and observability work that yielded measurable cost and reliability gains. He favors shipping practical tooling—ephemeral environments, code-gen for lambdas, and CI libraries—that makes developers more productive and systems easier to operate. Based in Columbus, OH, he pairs deep hands-on implementation skills with a habit of contributing small upstream fixes to make bespoke solutions scale.
