@joshuawarrick
Senior DevOps / Site Reliability engineer specializing in cloud platform automation and incident escalation.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps and Site Reliability engineer with extensive experience designing, automating, and operating cloud infrastructure across AWS and Kubernetes. I have led platform migrations, implemented CI/CD pipelines, and reduced deploy times significantly while maintaining high availability for production systems.
Throughout my career I have served as a technical lead and escalation point for multiple teams, resolving complex issues in Puppet, EKS, Terraform, and application health checks. I’ve architected multi-region disaster recovery, built monitoring stacks (Prometheus/Thanos/Grafana), and improved on-call practices across distributed teams.
I mentor engineers, document infrastructure changes, and drive operational improvements that streamline development environments and deployment workflows. I seek roles where I can continue to lead platform engineering, improve reliability, and mentor teams toward resilient, automated operations.
