Rhys Campbell is a Senior DevOps Engineer based in Zurich with 11 years’ experience building reliable, automated infrastructure and data platforms across Linux, Windows and Solaris environments. He combines deep expertise in MySQL/MariaDB, MongoDB, Cassandra and MSSQL with strong SQL tuning and schema design skills, and prefers Python for scripting and automation. A long-time Ansible contributor, Rhys has helped improve core MongoDB-related modules in the widely used ansible/ansible project and maintains multiple community Ansible collections for MongoDB, Cassandra and Elastic. He’s comfortable across the CI/CD toolchain (GitHub Actions), container ecosystems (Docker/Swarm) and monitoring stacks (Nagios/Icinga/Splunk), and champions “automate everything” practices. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, production-focused solutions that balance database internals with cloud-native operations.
