Executive Summary
DevOps engineer running Kubernetes and delivery pipelines for a logistics software company. Eight years moving teams from weekly release nights to deploys that happen during the working day. Believes the measure of the job is how rarely anyone gets paged, not how fast they respond.

- Cut mean time to recovery from three hours to twenty six minutes with better alerting and runbooks.
- Reduced Amazon Web Services spending by three hundred ten thousand dollars a year through right sizing and spot capacity.
