Summary
Stephen Granger is a Senior DevOps Cloud Architect with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and automating Linux-first infrastructure across AWS and GCP, from bare metal and VMware to ephemeral, production-grade cloud environments. He specializes in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation), Ansible-driven provisioning, and Kubernetes/EKS orchestration, with a strong focus on repeatability, security, and cost-conscious ephemeral environments. Stephen has driven cloud migrations, built CI/CD pipelines, and instituted best practices for IAM, networking, and high availability at organizations ranging from startups to enterprise (Mastercard). An organizer and contributor in the Ansible community, he pairs practical systems-level expertise (networking, firewalls, Cisco) with a developer-minded approach to automation and documentation. He enjoys recreating test labs with Vagrant, Docker and cloud sandboxes to validate designs before production, a habit that reduces risk and accelerates team onboarding.
