Summary
Sam Gleske is a Staff Engineer with 8 years of experience designing company-wide CI/CD and software delivery platforms that scale from startup to IPO. Based in Raleigh, he architects self-service, zero-trust deployment pipelines, backup and inventory automation, and compliance tooling that turn operational processes into auditable, repeatable systems. He has led cross-functional teams to standardize Git workflows, developer onboarding, and immutable infra (Jenkins, Vault, SonarQube, ECR) while shifting security left through BOM/CODEQL/SAST integration. Known for automating incident response—e.g., zero-day CVE rollouts and organization-wide source-code inventories—he favors productivity-by-automation and building developer convenience into infrastructure. A pragmatic polyglot and former build engineer, he pairs deep operational experience with a habit of improving how work is done rather than just doing it. He prefers secure contact channels (GPG/Keybase), reflecting a long-standing attention to operational security and developer ergonomics.
