Caelan Dever
@caelandever
I build automated, secure cloud infrastructure and DevOps pipelines across AWS and Azure.
What I'm looking for
At Meta, I automate global AWS and Azure infrastructure with Ansible, Terraform, and CloudFormation, reducing provisioning time by 50%. I build Kubernetes-based microservices platforms and CI/CD workflows that reduce release lead time by 35% while maintaining 99.9% uptime.
I've also delivered data pipelines processing 10+ TB per day, observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, and ELK, and secure cloud networking, identity, storage, and serverless services. My work spans Linux optimization, middleware, API integrations, databases, and security controls including IAM, KMS, Key Vault, CyberArk, DISA STIGs, and NIST SP 800-53.
Previously, I built cloud environments and automation for Ultimate Performance and administered Linux systems, storage, networking, virtualization, and monitoring for Montgomery County Recreation. I'm pursuing modern infrastructure work that integrates cloud technologies, streamlines development pipelines, and improves deployment speed and scalability.
