Summary
Ryan Yabuta is a DevOps engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with 11 years of broad infrastructure and operations experience and three years focused on systems administration and tools development. He has a track record of driving large migrations and cost reductions—moving datacenters and multiple clouds to AWS and saving six-figure annual hosting costs—while building resilient platforms using Kubernetes, Nomad, Vault, and Zero Trust remote access. As Head of Infrastructure and Staff Infrastructure Engineer he designed cluster, networking, and secrets infrastructures, upgraded multi-terabyte services with zero downtime, and automated CI/CD and artifact storage to cut recurring costs. Beyond ops, he writes internal developer tooling (Go, Python, bash) and conducts cross-team training, bridging developer productivity and security. An earlier career in datacenter operations and even classroom teaching informs his pragmatic, documentation-oriented approach to runbooks, on-call rotations, and knowledge transfer.
