Top SchoolRyan Walder is a DevOps/Infrastructure engineer with 11 years’ experience building and leading secure, cost-effective cloud platforms across public and private environments.

His background spans container security, SaltStack/Terraform best practices, Proxmox/Ceph self-hosted platforms, and observability improvements that give teams better insight into production behaviour.
