ABOUT GAVIN MCDONALD
Mad Scientist / Thought Leader - I enjoy pragmatic analysis of systems, and have often been called upon to consult on a course of action to achieve specific goals. I often approach a seemingly intractable problem from the perspective of the end state - starting with the assumption that I “can” do something, then working backwards to the inevitable “how”. This has led to many varied successes, such as: Establishing a go-to-market strategy for an API developer trying to reach a new market segment Streamlining the order flow of a parts company to more than double their ARR Facilitating the transition of a regional sales company into a national one through branch expansion Integrating acqui-hired teams & technologies into a high-performing series-B funded unicorn Driving the adoption of internally developed release automation platforms Blending or Restructuring technical delivery teams around SRE principles Identifying the ROI of targeted mobile ecosystems for an app developer, Helping establish new markets for exporters of petrochemicals and wholesale agriculture. I also have a wide range of skills in the technical problem domain, with a deep understanding of world-class computing infrastructure design patterns, and their corresponding strengths and weaknesses. I have designed, built, maintained, and managed production build pipelines to the cloud, and of the \"cloud\" itself, using industry standard or leading-edge tools for over 2 decades.
