@matthewweldy
I’m a DevOps & SRE engineer who automates CI/CD and IaC to improve reliability and accelerate deployments.
What I'm looking for
I’m a DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing, automating, and maintaining large-scale Linux and cloud infrastructure. I focus on translating complex technical challenges into scalable, automated solutions that improve operational efficiency across hybrid and cloud environments.
In my current role as a DevOps Engineer, I lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines for multiple teams—automating build, test, and deployment processes to reduce errors and speed up release cycles. I also implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible to provision, configure, and manage cloud and on-premises environments consistently and securely.
At GoDaddy, I maintained and enhanced the stability and performance of Linux-based hosting infrastructure supporting thousands of customers. I automated repetitive system administration tasks, improving operational efficiency by over 50%, and led incident response for high-severity outages—performing root cause analysis and implementing long-term solutions to prevent recurrence and reduce repeat incidents by 30%.
I bring deep expertise in Kubernetes orchestration, containerized deployments, and observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK Stack. I also support reliability work through SLA/SLO monitoring, high availability systems, performance optimization, and production support—then mentor others to strengthen incident response and automation best practices.
