Summary
Zeke Harris is a seasoned engineering leader and hands-on SRE with 17 years of experience building developer productivity, cloud and HPC infrastructure for companies like Twitter and Cruise. He has deep practical expertise across Linux, Solaris, macOS and Windows, and a track record of accelerating engineering velocity through tooling, testing and reliable deployment pipelines. At Twitter he helped scale private cloud services (Aurora/Mesos) to improve testing and rapid rollout, and at Cruise he led core SRE efforts and engineering teams to streamline build and delivery. Now self-styled as "National Director Of Not Doing Things," he pairs pragmatic automation with a long history in performance-sensitive environments from IBM clusters to modern cloud systems. Comfortable coding in Python/Django and troubleshooting low-level hardware and networking, he blends infrastructure craftsmanship with product-minded leadership. Based in Oakhurst, CA, he brings a rare mix of HPC ops experience and developer-facing platform design that quietly removes friction for engineering teams.
