Summary
David Lanner is a Senior Operations Engineer with 12 years of experience building secure, reliable cloud infrastructure and developer tooling across AWS, Linux, and CI/CD ecosystems. He blends hands-on systems work—managing hundreds of RHEL/Ubuntu servers, Terraform/CloudFormation, Chef, and Docker—with deep application-level troubleshooting, frequently diving into code to trace and fix complex dependency and security issues. At PlayOn! Sports he architected high-availability, zero-downtime deployments, centralized logging/tracing, and fine-grained IAM and network segmentation, while also mentoring engineers and maintaining on-call responsibilities. His background in building scalable, pub/sub websocket systems and automated test infrastructure at PGi adds strong operational understanding of high-throughput distributed applications. Practical, security-minded, and automation-first, he’s equally comfortable writing Ruby, Python, Node.js, or shell scripts to eliminate toil and harden systems.
