ABOUT KEVIN BEDNAR

Hello! I\'m Kevin, a Site Reliability Engineer and Platform Engineer with nearly 15 years of experience building, operating, and scaling reliable solutions across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and \"on-premise\". I specialize in designing systems that are resilient, observable, secure, cost-effective, and automated by default, enabling teams to ship faster with confidence.My background spans multi-cloud architecture, platform engineering, and DevOps, with deep hands-on experience in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation/Bicep), CI/CD, observability, incident response, and cloud security. I work at the intersection of architecture and operations, translating business requirements into scalable, production-ready systems.In my current work, I focus on: • Site reliability engineering (availability, reliability, on-call readiness, incident management) • Platform enablement (self-service infrastructure, reusable IaC, internal tooling) • Multi-cloud architecture across AWS and Azure • Observability and monitoring (metrics, logs, alerts, SLIs/SLOs) • Automation and DevOps practices that reduce toil and improve deliveryI’m known for being results-driven and pragmatic — improving reliability, reducing operational risk, standardizing platforms, and helping teams operate more effectively in complex cloud environments. I enjoy building systems that are not only technically sound, but also easy for teams to use and maintain.I’m passionate about continuous learning, mentoring, and raising the operational maturity of engineering organizations. Always open to connecting with others working on SRE, platform engineering, DevOps, and multi-cloud systems.
