Summary
Silver Evans is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 10+ years building resilient, automated infrastructure and security-focused systems across startups and large enterprises. He has led foundational DevOps work—standing up CI/CD, observability, and container orchestration at scale—driving measurable gains like a 50% deployment speed increase and supporting 200+ node fleets. Comfortable across cloud (Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform), config management (Puppet, Ansible, SaltStack) and incident playbooks, he pairs hands-on scripting (Python, Bash) with security automation and compliance experience. Silver’s background in security engineering and cyber-range mission development gives him a rare blend of offensive/defensive expertise that informs both system hardening and developer workflows. Now based in Boston, he’s transitioned part-time into travel planning, applying systems thinking to craft resilient, spontaneity-friendly itineraries after living in France and traveling widely. He’s equally at home mentoring junior SREs, debugging production outages onsite, or designing immersive local-first travel experiences.
