Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTyler Deknecht is a Principal Technology Engineer with eight years of focused experience in cloud and data center architecture, currently leading technical designs at State Farm to strengthen security, governance, and policy controls across technology delivery lifecycles. He progressed from z/OS performance and mainframe support into large-scale IaaS and public cloud networking, architecting hybrid connectivity for nearly 100 VPCs and shepherding enterprise-wide cloud adoption. Tyler blends hands-on automation (Terraform, GitLab CI/CD) with strategic research—authoring internal white papers, roadshows, and learning labs—to accelerate adoption and reduce complexity. He is as comfortable tuning LPARs and SMF analysis with SAS as he is designing AWS network disaster recovery and DNS architectures, a breadth that helps bridge legacy and cloud-native platforms. Based in Bloomington, Illinois, he’s known for mentoring teams and building internal communities that translate complex infrastructure patterns into practical operational solutions.
