Summary
Sean Gatewood is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in infrastructure and platform engineering, with nine years of experience building Kubernetes-driven production environments, IaC, and CI/CD pipelines. He brings developer-first rigor to DevOps work—authoring custom Go tools like a Prometheus exporter and a Kubernetes operator to close observability and operational gaps. Sean has shipped production-grade automation for high-stakes systems (including mission-critical blockchain services with strict uptime and audit requirements) and routinely architects solutions that reduce manual toil. Comfortable across Terraform, Jsonnet, Helm, Google Cloud Build, and CircleCI, he also has a background in developer experience tooling that speeds team productivity. Based in the NYC area, he combines hands-on systems programming with a knack for prototyping and mentoring, often surfacing pragmatic fixes at the application level before they become incidents.
