About Taylor

I'm a DevOps Engineer at Isogent, where I manage Azure Kubernetes Service environments with Terraform. I recently moved our Azure DevOps pipelines from the classic editor to YAML, cutting deployment times by 60%. I started at Isogent as a QA Automation Engineer, building Playwright end-to-end test suites and adding automated tests to our CI/CD pipelines.

​

Before that, I spent eleven years at Rackspace as a network automation engineer, migrating services from Docker Swarm to Kubernetes, running Jenkins CI/CD, and automating 500+ network devices with Ansible. I then worked as a solutions architect at Ticketmaster, building Python FastAPI services and moving applications to Kubernetes.

​

On this blog, I write about the tools I use every day: Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD pipelines, and Python testing with pytest.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy movie nights with my family, learning new technologies, and playing video games. I love listening to music whenever I can, and I enjoy a wide variety of it.
