Summary
Scott Vanravenswaay is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with over 25 years of hands-on IT experience spanning network administration, systems engineering, architecture, and technical leadership. He specializes in keeping networked applications online across Layers 1–7, with deep Unix/Linux expertise complemented by Windows domain and Hyper-V troubleshooting skills. Scott thrives in high-pressure incident response and has a track record of resolving elusive, cross-team outages—once identifying an antivirus-quorum disk interaction that defeated Microsoft Support. He blends practical scripting and automation experience with cloud platform engineering (Python, Terraform) and periodic vulnerability/pentest work, often acting as the qualified PCI DSS scanner. Based in Arlington, Texas, he pairs a broad systems intuition with the people skills needed to extract logs and coordinate siloed teams during critical incidents. Less obvious: his career includes building data centers and automated provisioning systems from the ground up, so he’s as comfortable designing resilient infrastructure as he is digging into low-level root cause analysis.
