Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard K is a Senior DevOps Engineer with 32+ years of hands-on experience across application development, operations, and cloud architecture, currently designing CI/CD and secure cloud infrastructure at Chipply. He blends deep legacy-system reverse-engineering skills—what he calls "software archaeology"—with modern DevSecOps practices, automating pipelines, secrets scanning, and infrastructure as code using Terraform/OpenTofu and Azure DevOps. Richard has led teams, delivered large-scale ETL and database migrations (including Aurora PostgreSQL and DMS), and repeatedly cut costs and tool sprawl through pragmatic monitoring and automation. Equally comfortable scripting in Python and Bash as he is architecting AWS networking and security controls, he also contributes operational glue like Lambda/Step Function automations and Kubernetes monitoring integrations. His background includes leadership roles in migrating CI platforms, standing up artifact repositories and Jenkins/GitLab ecosystems, and mentoring engineers across enterprises and startups.
