Ted Strzalkowski is an experienced reliability and platform engineer with 14 years of practice building tooling and infrastructure that make engineering teams more effective. He progressed through senior SRE and staff engineering roles at LinkedIn, and before that led systems and DevOps transformations at companies including eBay and Lucid, often replacing brittle architectures with automated, scalable pipelines. Ted blends hands-on automation (SaltStack, containerization, CI/CD) with operational leadership, having led teams, overhauled change processes, and open-sourced internal tooling. His background in the U.S. Coast Guard adds uncommon operational rigor and large-scale compliance experience, informing his emphasis on reliability under pressure. Based in Boulder Creek, CA, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a user-feedback-driven approach to platform design.
