Summary
🤩
RockstarTerrance Kennedy is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer in Denver with 14 years of software experience and a strong self-taught DevOps pedigree, including deep infrastructure work across AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and observability. He built Citrine Informatics’ production and deployment fabric as their first infrastructure hire, scaled environments for dozens of customers, and led secure, auditable practices that supported certifications like ISO 27001 and FedRAMP. At Okta and prior companies he’s driven reliability at scale—designing immutable releases, blue/green deployments, and automated rollbacks—while also shipping tooling that made QA, demos, and developer onboarding effortless. A mentor at Techtonica and active blogger, Terrance pairs hands-on engineering with community teaching and a knack for translating security and operational complexity into reproducible developer workflows. Outside work he trains for marathons, runs amateur radio, and cooks for friends, reflecting the same discipline and curiosity he brings to resilient systems.
