About Preston Turner

DevOps and distributed systems engineer focused on building reliable platforms in high-trust, real-world environments.I’ve worked across aerospace, IoT, and large-scale compute systems, designing and operating Kubernetes platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and secure infrastructure where reliability, traceability, and operational discipline are critical. My experience includes mission-critical software environments, regulated systems, and AI-backed workloads running both in cloud and on-prem settings.I’m particularly drawn to problems where software meets physical or constrained environments—edge, hybrid, and on-prem systems where connectivity isn’t guaranteed, workloads fluctuate, and privacy and control matter. In these contexts, I focus on architectures that favor local control, clear failure modes, and simplicity in operations.Core areas I work in:Kubernetes and platform engineeringCI/CD and release engineeringSoftware supply chain security and complianceGPU and AI workload orchestrationAutomation using operators and custom control planesCloud, on-prem, and hybrid infrastructure
