About Greg B.

What I Do:I make infrastructure boring so developers can be interesting!Over 13+ years on AWS, I\'ve built the IaC frameworks, compliance automation, and platform patterns that let engineering teams ship without thinking about infrastructure — and turned SRE from a ticket queue into a strategic function.What I care about: mentoring engineers into infrastructure self-sufficiency, encoding security and compliance into automation so it\'s a deployment artifact instead of a spreadsheet exercise, and building the Terraform/Terragrunt frameworks that become the default way teams deploy. I\'ve led FedRAMP High and SOC 2 Type II certification efforts across multiple organizations — and I\'ve been everything from the sole infrastructure engineer at a startup to a cross-organizational resource at an enterprise.Right now at Automox, I\'m reshaping a 5-person SRE team from reactive ticket-takers into a platform engineering function. That\'s the work I find most rewarding — not just building the platform, but changing how an organization thinks about infrastructure ownership.Technical identity: AWS (since 2013) · Terraform/Terragrunt framework design · Kubernetes (EKS) · FedRAMP High & SOC 2 Type II · GitHub Actions & GitLab CI · Datadog · Python · BashThe goal is always the same: teams should own their infrastructure outcomes, not file tickets and wait.

   de facto team lead for a 5-person SRE team within a mid-size endpoint management platform.Strategic Leadership: Driving the transformation of the SRE team from a reactive, ticket-driven model to a DevOps-oriented platform team focused on developer enablement and self-service infrastructureInfrastructure Modernization: Designed a templatized Terragrunt service pattern with standardized module structure, dependency management, and environment promotion workflows — adopted org-wide across 79 services and 11 organizational units as the default path for provisioning supporting infrastructure alongside Argo CD managed Kubernetes deploymentsTechnical Mentorship: Mentored engineers across infrastructure, reliability, and operational domains, enabling application teams to independently resolve infrastructure issues that previously required SRE escalation — reducing ticket volume and resolution timesAI Integration: Established LLM-assisted development workflows for module creation, updates, and troubleshooting — reducing cycle time from hours to minutes and making documentation generation near-instantaneous
