Top SchoolTaylor Brown is an experienced cloud and infrastructure engineer and independent consultant with nine years of hands-on experience designing, migrating, and securing IT environments for SMEs, non-profits, political campaigns, and financial institutions. He has led complex cloud and datacenter migrations, implemented Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, managed Kubernetes clusters, and architected networking and security with GCP, Fortinet, and F5 technologies.
