Jay Tank
Sr. DevOps & Platform Engineer
Building infrastructure that stays up so no one has to think about it.
About
I design and run the infrastructure fintech and web3 teams bet their uptime on — EKS clusters, GitOps pipelines, and IAM boundaries that hold under real traffic. My job starts where the dashboard turns red: tracing a cost spike to one runaway agent loop, or a deploy failure to a single mis-scoped policy. I write the automation once so the incident doesn't happen twice. Lately that's meant pairing infrastructure discipline with AI-assisted workflows — using LLMs to reason about cost anomalies and pipeline failures faster than a human scanning logs ever could, without losing the audit trail underneath. I'm still the engineer who reads the AWS bill line by line before believing it.

Skills
DevOps and platform engineering, end to end — not a single cloud or tool. The list below is a sample of what I reach for, not the limit of what I know.
cloud & infrastructure
Designing and provisioning cloud environments as code, so infrastructure is repeatable, auditable, and portable across providers rather than tied to one.
- AWS
- Terraform
- IAM & network design
automation & release engineering
Building CI/CD and GitOps workflows that shorten the path from commit to production without sacrificing control or auditability.
- ArgoCD
- GitHub Actions
- Release pipelines
platform & container engineering
Operating containerized platforms and the orchestration layer underneath them — the parts of the system most teams never have to think about.
- Kubernetes
- Docker
- Helm
reliability & incident response
Monitoring, on-call response, and root-cause work that turns one-off fires into permanent automation, not repeat incidents.
- Observability
- Incident response
- Postmortems
security & governance
Applying least-privilege access design and security automation across cloud accounts without slowing developers down.
- IAM policy design
- Access governance
- Security automation
cost & performance engineering
Using data — and increasingly AI-assisted analysis — to catch cost and performance anomalies before they become a line item someone has to explain.
- FinOps
- Cost anomaly detection
- Performance tuning
