Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Deaton is an infrastructure engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and troubleshooting Linux and OpenStack environments for enterprises and service providers. Based in San Antonio, he has worked across roles at USAA, Rackspace, HPE/HP, and Verizon, frequently automating tenant onboarding and deployments with Ansible and custom shell tooling. Deeply experienced with Red Hat OpenStack Platform, Nova, Neutron, Cinder, RabbitMQ and HA system architectures, he pairs pragmatic troubleshooting with customer-facing collaboration and in-person training. He started at the command prompt in the 1990s and still leverages that low-level curiosity today, adding Python and Java when projects demand it. Notably, his career includes building repeatable, production-ready OpenStack installs and bespoke playbooks that simplified complex tenant workflows for large-scale operators.
