Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Nigh is a Senior Cloud and Site Reliability Engineer with nine years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems from embedded test farms to petabyte-scale telemetry pipelines. Based in Pittsburgh, he has driven cost-saving migrations and efficiency gains at Microsoft by rearchitecting ingestion pipelines and modernizing developer tooling, and now leads cloud engineering efforts at Mayvue. His background spans CI/CD, Terraform, AWS, and Kubernetes-era practices, with a track record of creating testing and load frameworks that root out critical compatibility and performance issues before production. Sam blends hands-on implementation with operational ownership—regularly serving as DRI on-call to harden automated mitigation and deployment safeguards. He’s equally at home improving developer velocity as he is optimizing runtime efficiency, and has a longstanding appetite for learning new SRE and distributed-systems techniques.
