Summary
Taylor Snyder is a DevOps/SRE engineer with nine years of experience building developer-facing infrastructure and still actively shipping application code. He’s driven large-scale reliability and developer productivity at PayPal—reducing test times from hours to minutes, saving tens of thousands of person-hours per month, and cutting on-call noise with Datadog, Argo Workflows, and a custom Go Slack bot. His background spans Go, Java, Kubernetes, and cloud-native tooling, with hands-on experience migrating telemetry, automating backups, and designing config-as-code and fail-fast deployment patterns. Now at Houzz and based in Greater St. Louis, he blends full-stack sensibilities with infrastructure craft, and (notably) keeps very memorable LinkedIn and GitHub handles that reflect a playful confidence in his public footprint.
