Summary
Sean Wenzel is a pragmatic engineering leader and founder with over two decades of hands-on experience building and migrating large-scale platforms, currently directing Content Engineering & Development at Peloton. He specializes in site reliability and infrastructure automation—Kubernetes, AWS EKS, Terraform and Ansible—to deliver idempotent, cost-efficient cloud architectures and has driven multi-hundred-thousand-dollar savings on Atlas MongoDB and AWS. A longtime entrepreneur (founder of RecipeLand and early Internet music ventures) he blends product instincts with deep SRE craft, having stood up bare-metal clusters and fully re-architected legacy Azure/MSSQL systems into resilient AWS + MongoDB platforms. Sean is also an effective mentor and interim executive (CTO/CIO) who thrives in global, distributed teams and cross-cultural environments. Not obvious from titles: he combines boots-on-the-ground firefighting with deliberate, DRY automation—building in-house Terraform modules that radically simplified cluster and database deployments. Based in Peterborough, Ontario, he remains a curious polyglot technologist who prefers elegant solutions to noisy complexity.
