Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTyler Cloke is a senior infrastructure engineer with 13+ years building and operating large-scale distributed systems, currently leading cloud migrations and platform work at Squarespace. He architected and executed a zero-downtime migration of hundreds of on-prem MongoDB clusters to GCP, rewrote legacy Ansible into a cloud-native Terraform and Golang stack, and built Git-driven self-service automation that eliminated 20+ hours/week of manual toil. Comfortable in the trenches, he blends deep database and distributed-systems expertise (MongoDB/Postgres, Kubernetes, Golang) with strong operational discipline and extensive testing to keep user-facing SLAs intact. Previously at Styra and Chef he delivered IAM, observability, and policy-driven integrations, and made meaningful open-source contributions to Chef projects around testing, packaging, and error handling. He favors hard operational problems where automation must be both safe and auditable, and mentors teams while defining multi-quarter roadmaps. Based in San Diego with a BS in Computational and Applied Mathematics, he has a track record of turning complex infra challenges into reliable, developer-friendly platforms.
