Marcus Webb

Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer

Platform engineer with 6+ years designing cloud-native infrastructure at scale. Built CI/CD systems for 4,000+ engineers, maintained 99.95% platform uptime, and delivered Kubernetes platforms saving $2.4M/yr in compute costs. I treat infrastructure as product โ€” with the same care for developer experience as user experience.
