Top SchoolSpencer Transier is a Senior Systems and DevOps Administrator with 9+ years of experience specializing in release engineering, QA, and build infrastructure for mobile and desktop apps. At Automattic he managed 250+ cross-platform releases, helped create a widely adopted release management toolkit, and enabled 15+ product teams to ship independently through automation and clear processes. Hands-on with Fastlane, Buildkite, Terraform, Ansible, and Ruby, he built custom macOS CI images, test analytics dashboards, and infrastructure-as-code pipelines to make CI/CD predictable and measurable. His background spans QA, automation, and customer-facing support—giving him a rare blend of empathy for product teams and relentless focus on reliability. Active in open-source mobile repos like Simplenote and WordPress-Android, he routinely improves build and test systems rather than just the app code.
