My name is Scott Flaherty, and I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with over ten years of experience in system administration, automation, and cloud-based solutions. Currently, I work at Verato, where I work with two DevOps teams, helping to modernize infrastructure and operations while supporting the growth and development of junior engineers.
Throughout my career, I've demonstrated a strong ability to drive cross-functional initiatives, leading teams to success in high-pressure environments. Whether implementing CI/CD pipelines, managing large-scale infrastructure projects, or deploying Kubernetes and Terraform, my focus has always been on creating scalable, secure, and efficient solutions.
My journey in DevOps has taken me through various roles, from managing operations at a cryptocurrency exchange to revitalizing teams at IBM and driving significant projects that have had a substantial impact on the bottom line. I’ve also embraced leadership roles beyond the tech industry, currently serving as the Mayor of Bertram, Iowa, where I manage city operations and plan for long-term growth.
In addition to my technical expertise, I’m passionate about continuous learning and development, both for myself and my teams. I thrive in collaborative environments and excel at communicating complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring everyone is on the same page and working towards shared goals.
Whether you're looking for insights into the latest DevOps trends or practical solutions to your infrastructure challenges, I'm here to share my experiences and knowledge. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find my contributions valuable.
