Hi, I'm Darian Hollis, a Senior DevOps Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and site reliability. Over the past decade I’ve built resilient cloud architectures and automated delivery pipelines across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I’m passionate about uniting development and operations through thoughtful infrastructure design and strong reliability practices, and I enjoy mentoring teammates to adopt secure, scalable, and efficient workflows. I thrive on solving complex challenges by applying IaC, observability, and chaos engineering to prevent incidents before they occur. I’m always looking for ways to simplify collaboration, reduce toil, and deliver value quickly while maintaining security and compliance.

Work Experience

Senior DevOps Engineer at Thoughtbot
May 1, 2022 - November 6, 2025
I led deployment pipelines with GitHub Actions and ArgoCD, implemented a global Kubernetes platform tied to content delivery networks to maintain stable performance across regions, introduced Terraform Cloud for infrastructure checks, and enhanced monitoring with Datadog and Sentry. I coordinated on-call schedules and incident reviews and applied chaos engineering to proactively identify and fix weaknesses before they impacted services.
Lead Cloud Engineer at A3logics
April 1, 2022 - April 1, 2022
I configured Kubernetes-based environments on AWS, set up automated cross-region provisioning with Terraform and Ansible, built monitoring pipelines with Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack, designed secure multi-tenant architectures during cloud migrations, and led training on infrastructure as code and GitOps. I contributed to system resilience during peak demand periods.
Site Reliability Engineer at Launchpad Lab
May 1, 2018 - May 1, 2018
I guided clients through safe cloud migrations on Azure and GCP, shaped infrastructure reliability with CloudFormation and Helm, fine-tuned CI/CD with Jenkins and CircleCI, integrated Vault and IAM for security, maintained data integrity with backup and recovery processes, and fostered a security-first mindset across distributed teams.
