Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRyan Kitchen is a senior Infrastructure Site Reliability Engineer with seven years focused on cloud scalability, reliability and operational excellence, currently driving SRE practices at Joyent. He progressed through QA and technical management roles to blend deep testing discipline with hands-on automation and infrastructure design, often bridging Dev and Ops to accelerate feature delivery into production. At Joyent and previously Oracle he led efforts around automation (Chef, BladeLogic), Kanban reorganization, and centralized test management to make complex cloud services more predictable and auditable. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions—whether rebuilding environments for data center migrations or codifying runbooks and cookbooks for production teams. Based in Enumclaw, Washington, he pairs strong leadership in cross-team enablement with a background in both hands-on operations and quality engineering. Not obvious from job titles: he routinely mentors teams to adopt shared ownership of reliability, turning QA artifacts into operational playbooks.
