Intelligent Insight,
Seamlessly Delivered.
I'm Zach Thill, a senior platform & infrastructure engineer. For five years I've run large-scale AWS and Kubernetes systems — most recently the platform behind 100B+ events a day at a Fortune 100 — cutting cloud spend, hardening delivery, and keeping bleeding-edge systems calm under pressure. Now I pair that with agentic AI workflows that take the grind out of engineering work.
Always open to new opportunities and interesting work.
- 100B+events/day pipeline owned
- 1,000+node EKS fleet recovered in 2h
- $100K+/mocloud cost removed
- 80%faster build & deploy
What I do
Expertise
DevOps & Platform Engineering
I design and run Kubernetes platforms and cloud infrastructure that teams can self-serve and trust in production — from EKS fleets at scale to GitOps delivery that makes deployments safe and repeatable.
AI Automation & Agentic Workflows
I build agentic workflows and AI-assisted automation that take the grind out of engineering and operations — using agents, MCP, and human-in-the-loop gates to make teams measurably faster without giving up control. My focus is orchestrating AI to improve real processes, not model training or inference.
Secure Delivery (DevSecOps)
I build CI/CD pipelines that make the secure path the default — rootless container builds, automated vulnerability and supply-chain scanning, and policy-as-code that stops misconfigurations before they ship.
Cloud Reliability & Cost Optimization
I keep production resilient and lean — designing for failure so outages don't become incidents, and finding the cloud spend that isn't earning its keep.
