Summary
👤
SeniorSean Nguyen is a Staff DevOps Engineer based in Santa Barbara with a decade of hands-on experience building and scaling cloud-native infrastructure and developer self-service platforms. He has led rapid Kubernetes adoption—growing from zero to 24 EKS clusters across multiple regions—and driven migrations from legacy ECS/CloudFormation to reusable Terraform modules and Spacelift automation. Sean blends platform engineering, SRE practices, and MLOps to reduce operational friction for teams, implementing SLIs/SLOs, incident automation, and model deployment pipelines. He’s a practical software engineer who also writes custom tooling (Golang, Python, Ansible) and Kubernetes Operators when off-the-shelf solutions fall short. Known for enabling secure IoT edge-to-cloud architectures and developer portals (ArgoCD, Backstage), he focuses on measurable reliability and self-service velocity. His background in test automation and CI for embedded systems gives him an uncommon perspective on production-grade observability and reproducible build pipelines.
