Reliability Engineering
Incident response, production stability, MTTR reduction, monitoring, escalation paths, and operational ownership for distributed systems.
Matt McGowan
Infrastructure & Platform Engineering Leader
Reliability, systems, and real-world operations.
I build and operate production infrastructure, lead incident response, and design platforms that hold up under pressure.
My work sits at the intersection of Linux systems, reliability engineering, automation, and operational leadership.
Operational depth, platform focus, leadership under pressure.
Platform & Infrastructure
Linux, automation, CI/CD, infrastructure standardization, hybrid environments, and systems that support engineering teams instead of slowing them down.
Technical Leadership
Player-coach leadership, cross-functional coordination, executive communication, and calm decision-making during high-pressure operational events.
