Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Jackson is a Senior Cloud Infrastructure DevOps Engineer with over two decades of software experience and a dozen years focused on cloud, automation, and operational tooling. He designs and ships scalable systems using AWS, Kubernetes, and serverless patterns, and has built RESTful APIs and automation platforms in Node.js and Go while still coding in C, C++, Python, Ruby and other languages when needed. His career spans modernizing legacy configuration management, authoring incident-management systems, and migrating critical databases to Amazon RDS to dramatically improve reliability and reduce outages. A pragmatic engineer, he has repeatedly cut deployment times and resource waste—one freelance engagement reduced underutilized hardware by 75%—and mentors teams to produce reusable automation that lowers senior support load. Based in Draper, Utah, Ryan blends deep systems-level knowledge (kernel and network boot work earlier in his career) with current cloud-native practices, making him equally comfortable troubleshooting low-level drivers or delivering production APIs.
