Summary
Tricia Leavitt is a Platform Engineer II with eight years of experience building secure, automated cloud platforms across AWS and GCP, specializing in IaC, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and observability. She has repeatedly led greenfield infrastructure efforts and migrations—moving teams from ClickOps to Terraform, introducing Crossplane/Karpenter-backed EKS, and standardizing Helm-based deployments to improve reliability and developer experience. Comfortable in small, high-impact teams, Tricia pairs hands-on engineering with security and compliance work (SOC 2 and bug bounty program experience) and has operationally owned incidents, SLOs, and monitoring stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry. Her background spans consulting and product environments where she translated business needs into repeatable infrastructure patterns and mentored peers on cloud best practices. Based in Englewood, Colorado, she brings a pragmatic focus on “everything as code” and a knack for turning one-off ops into scalable, documented platforms.
