SKILLS
ABOUT SCOTT REID
I’m a backend infrastructure developer whose responsibilities closely align with those of an SRE. My contributions consistently focus on automation, reliability, performance, and cross-team enablement.Highlights from my professional experience include:🤖 Automation: Saved thousands of hours of manual build, test, and release time across my organization through targeted automation efforts. Teaching: Delivered interactive distributed systems training to hundreds of developers across multiple countries, using a custom curriculum I designed and taught in person. On-call Leadership: Authored runbooks and led incident resolution for several high-priority issues in production. CI/CD and Deployments: Improved pipeline resilience with validation, retries, and smarter automation practices. Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis: Frequently consulted by other teams for support with diagnosing complex, high-impact bugs.🧹 Infrastructure as Code: Refactored our entire Helm chart without breaking CI/CD. Technical Implementation: Built application features focused on infrastructure and runtime stability. Performance Optimization: Identified and resolved bottlenecks, then automated regression tests to guard against future issues. Saved hundreds of thousands of euros/year in cloud spend by improving infrastructure and deployment efficiency.Side Projects & InnovationI work on side projects when time and energy allow. Recent highlights:🧬 blue_dancer side project: A multitenant B2B application featuring a convolutional neural network (recreated from a medical paper) that predicts whether synthetic peptides will bind to specific HLAs. Fit/Gap Analyzer: Built a RAG-based AI agent capable of determining whether business requirements are a fit or a gap from an uploaded spreadsheet.🦾 LLM-assisted Development: Extensively leveraged Claude and Claude Code to build greenfield applications, especially for frontend work where my skills are not as strong.🧠 Neural Networks: Many real-world problems are better served by other architectures like CNNs, I expand my horizon beyond what\'s hyped at the moment. Security: I avoid cutting corners even in personal projects. I avoid insecure shortcuts and follow best practices as a baseline, not an afterthought.
