Summary
🤩
RockstarNelson Jeppesen is a Senior DevOps/SRE engineer with 7 years of focused experience designing and operating resilient, scalable infrastructure on AWS using Kubernetes and Terraform. He has led cloud-first transformations and greenfield AWS deployments, built multi-tiered DNS and logging platforms, and automated touchless server farms to reduce operational risk. His background spans large enterprises (Disney, Philips, EMC) to fast-moving startups (Simply Measured, Alchemer Mobile), giving him a knack for balancing rigorous security and compliance with pragmatic automation. Unusually, he combined hands-on systems engineering with field engineering during a year-long travel sabbatical—designing and supporting off-grid water, refrigeration, and filtration systems—which sharpened his communication, negotiation and real-world problem-solving skills. Based in Seattle, he turns complex platforms “boring” through clear ownership, automation, and practical engineering trade-offs.
