I'm Ryan Rumsey — a Senior Cloud Engineering Manager who designs, secures, and automates large-scale AWS, Azure, and hybrid cloud environments, and builds the teams that keep them running.

I lead cloud engineering organizations through the hard parts: large migrations, security remediation, and the day-two work that turns modern platforms into a business advantage.
Over 8+ years I've delivered enterprise migrations across AWS and Azure, modernized CI/CD from Bamboo and Jenkins into GitHub Actions, and stood up Kubernetes platforms on EKS and AKS that engineering teams actually enjoy using.
My value proposition is simple: pair rigorous DevSecOps with thoughtful team-building, and business outcomes follow.
Deep in the tools that matter — from IaC to identity — with the operational scars to use them well.
I've built and led platforms combining AWS and Azure with Kubernetes, Terraform, and GitHub Actions, and modernized identity and access management to meet DoD, ITAR, and enterprise compliance requirements.
Four principles that shape how platforms — and the people who run them — grow.
If we do it twice, we automate it. Toil is a bug — platforms exist to remove it.
Guardrails belong in the pipeline, not the postmortem. Ship secure defaults, then iterate.
High-performing teams are built one 1:1 at a time. Growth is the durable outcome.
Small, measurable wins beat heroic rewrites. Operate on evidence, not opinion.
I'm open to Senior Manager and Director-level roles in cloud, platform, and DevSecOps engineering.
