Senior🎓
Top SchoolGavin Black is a Senior Member of Technical Staff with 14 years of experience delivering reliable, secure infrastructure and software across gaming, utilities, and enterprise systems. Currently at Oracle, he leads teams to ship product-focused development while drawing on deep hands-on expertise in Linux, VMware, AWS, Puppet, Jenkins, and Cloudera/Hadoop from prior roles. His background spans systems engineering, security compliance, and operations—managing identity and endpoint tools like CyberArk, Tripwire, and Carbon Black and leading cross-functional integrations for high-availability environments. Gavin pairs a Software Engineering degree with an early foundation in electronic engineering, which helps him bridge hardware-facing integration work and cloud-native services. He’s comfortable both leading delivery and diving into administration and scripting tasks (Python, SQL, C/C++), making him a pragmatic technical leader who still enjoys solving gritty operational problems. Based in Reno, NV, he brings particular strength in operationalizing security mandates into practical, auditable solutions.
