Summary
Vicky Rowley is a seasoned system engineer with nine years of professional experience and a long track record modernizing infrastructure for large scientific research projects, now contributing at Amazon Web Services. She combines hands-on expertise in Linux, Docker, VMware, NetApp/ZFS and cloud platforms with software skills in Python, Perl, PHP, R and database administration (MySQL/Postgres) to deliver automated, scalable IaaS and data-heavy environments. Her background includes managing petabyte-scale storage, high-performance networking and HPC for neuroscience and genomics research, and she has led teams through architecture modernization and operationalization. Comfortable across hardware, OS, middleware and cloud layers, she seeks DevOps roles that pair infrastructure as code and ML-ready platforms with social impact—particularly in education. An MIT graduate, she brings both deep technical breadth and a history of teaching and consulting on complex simulation codebases, a less-obvious strength that helps teams adopt and extend large, long-lived systems.
