Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSteven Barrett is a Senior DevOps Engineer with 16 years of hands-on experience building automation, deployment pipelines, and high-uptime operations across SaaS and enterprise environments from Round Rock, Texas. A Linux enthusiast and maintainer of Liquorix (and co-maintainer of Zen Kernel), he focuses on kernel- and system-level optimizations that make systems feel faster and more responsive while translating manual runbooks into reliable, repeatable automation. At 3rd Eye he drives platform reliability and tooling; prior roles at IPsoft and Digital Motorworks show deep expertise in shell scripting, PL/SQL reporting, init/release automation, and incident response. He pairs pragmatic operational leadership with open-source influence, bringing low-level performance tuning into production delivery workflows. Something not obvious: his background includes leading large-scale, hands-on deployments and teaching regular-expression best practices to 50+ engineers, reflecting both technical depth and a knack for practical knowledge transfer.
