Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrian Chan is a Staff Site Reliability Engineer with a decade of experience building and operating cloud-native platforms across AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes for media-scale workloads. At Vox Media he drove platform modernization—standardizing Helm deployments, unifying CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and consolidating observability in Datadog—directly enabling multi-thousand-dollar monthly cost savings and more reliable production rollout patterns. He has a track record of migration projects (ECS→EKS, VM→Kubernetes), infrastructure-as-code at scale, and designing ephemeral PR environments and self-hosted CI fleets to reduce developer friction. Comfortable at the intersection of ops and engineering, Brian mentors teams and sets platform standards while still shipping hands-on automation and tooling. Trained originally in biology, he brings a methodical, data-driven approach to reliability and cost optimization in complex cloud environments.
