Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRob Jenkins is a Director of Technical Operations with six years in senior TechOps leadership and over two decades of hands-on systems and web-application experience. He specializes in configuration management, CI/CD, containerization, and modernizing large-scale web stacks to reliably deliver microservices-driven applications. At Imply he leads technical operations while earlier roles at Upwork/Elance and various enterprises show deep expertise in scaling infrastructure, automation, and monitoring. He combines practical sysadmin roots—building and managing thousands of CentOS servers, networks, and custom captive-portal systems—with product-minded delivery for clients like Marriott and Ritz-Carlton. Based in Boulder Creek, CA, he pairs a BA in History with a UNIX systems certificate, reflecting a pragmatic, multidisciplinary approach to problem solving. Not obviously, his career blends entrepreneurial ownership (running Summit Access) with enterprise-grade operational rigor, making him equally comfortable prototyping solutions or running production at scale.
