Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Smitelli is a Senior Platform Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native backends and infrastructure-as-code workflows. He has led migrations and production rollouts at scale—from moving monoliths and acquisitions into unified Terraform/CDK stacks to preparing high-traffic web apps for Kubernetes with Istio and Argo Rollouts. Comfortable shipping Python-based ETL and serverless pipelines as well as improving customer-facing React apps, he focuses on automating tedious work so teams can tackle the interesting technical problems. A pragmatic architect who has been the first full-time engineer at startups and supported thousands of pods across multiple EKS clusters, he pairs deep operational experience with a tinkerer’s curiosity rooted in earlier audio and media engineering work. Based in Durham, NC, he brings a track record of cost optimization, reliability engineering, and clear documentation/mentorship to cross-functional teams.
