Summary
Zan Loy is a systems engineer with 11+ years designing and operating large Linux enclaves and automated deployment pipelines, currently building Kubernetes-based production environments at Booz Allen’s SPARC. He blends hands-on infrastructure work—Puppet, Ansible, Helm, Vault, AWS, Jenkins—with day-to-day scripting in Ruby, Go, and Python to automate administration, monitoring, and security tasks. Zan has authored 40+ Puppet modules and contributed to the Puppet Forge, showing sustained open-source craftsmanship beyond routine ops. He’s experienced in high-availability stacks, DISA STIG compliance, and on-call production support, and enjoys evaluating new tools to make operations more efficient. Based in North Charleston, he prefers practical, code-driven solutions and will happily avoid Java when given the choice.
