About Derik Taylor

Before the AI stuff below, here\'s the real me! I\'m the guy that gets thrown at new tech and told to figure it out. I helped spearhead the adoption of ECS, Kubernetes and other container services where they didn\'t exist here. First time in GCP? You got it, I\'ll wrangle it up. Need to build out the foundations of IaC using Terraform? Say no more.I gather up the tech, play with it and make it work in a seamless and coherent fashion, and I always seem to have my head in the cloud. Even when diving down the rabbit hole.Anyway, here\'s the AI generated blurb below. It\'s alright and gives a good overview:)As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Travel + Leisure Co, I specialize in building CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Ansible, and Terraform to deploy applications and infrastructure on AWS-managed services, including EC2, EKS, ECS, and Lambda. My role supports containerized and non-containerized applications written in diverse programming languages such as Java, NodeJS, and Python. With over two years in this role and a strong background in cloud engineering, I am dedicated to streamlining deployment processes and ensuring seamless application integration. My focus remains on leveraging automation tools and cloud technologies to enable efficient and reliable infrastructure solutions.
