About Jeremy Rios
I’ve spent over 15 years immersed in the ever-evolving landscape of DevOps and cloud architecture—it's not just my job; it's my passion. My journey began in the U.S. Navy as a Sonar Operations Manager where I learned the value of grit and teamwork while leading critical operations. This foundation set the stage for a career where I’ve had the privilege to work with some incredible companies like Coca-Cola and Citrix. Each role has been an opportunity to solve complex problems while delivering high-impact solutions.In my recent position at Updater, I directed a talented team of seven engineers to build a scalable infrastructure for the U.S. military’s $17.9 billion Global Household Goods contract. We focused on creating a robust cloud-native environment that met stringent compliance standards while ensuring reliability at every level of deployment. It was rewarding to see our efforts contribute directly to such an important mission.As the founding engineer at Asserts.ai, an a16z-funded startup, I had the chance to shape our infrastructure from scratch—transforming ideas into reality by implementing innovative CI/CD processes that significantly improved developer experience. I also modernized CI/CD pipelines for Fortune 500 clients at CloudBees, enhancing system reliability while reducing operational costs.Outside of work, I’m an entrepreneur at heart, constantly seeking opportunities to solve real-world problems with technology. Throughout my career I've founded multiple businesses of my own, from tattoo studios to short-term vacation rentals. More recently, I've been focused on leveraging my startup experience and technical expertise to provide freelance consulting and professional services.Let’s connect if you’re seeking someone who combines technical expertise, strategic thinking, and a proven track record of delivering measurable results. I’m open to opportunities in Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps, Platform Engineering, Data Engineering, and related roles.
