Background

About Eddie Dunn

I build platform infrastructure that replaces manual work with automation, reduces operational risk, and lets engineering teams ship reliably.I've designed CI/CD platforms, deployment automation systems, and internal developer tools across Linux, cloud, and hybrid environments—from fintech startups to enterprise scale. My work focuses on making the right thing the easy thing: standardized pipelines, rollback-safe deployments, observable systems, and infrastructure that doesn't require heroics to operate.Recent work includes:• Enterprise CI/CD platform (Jenkins, SonarQube, shared libraries) serving multiple engineering teams• Internal infrastructure configuration service consolidating fragmented asset data into a single source of truth• Python and Ansible automation replacing manual SOPs and eliminating recurring production failuresI care about: reliability, observability, developer experience, and systems that survive contact with reality.I've also taught Linux administration and cloud computing at UNCW and published research in machine learning and NLP—background that informs how I think about infrastructure for complex, data-intensive systems.Currently: System Engineer at O'Reilly Auto PartsPreviously: Lead Infrastructure Engineer at Unbanked (fintech), Systems Programmer Analyst at UNCWLet's connect if you're working on platform engineering, SRE, release engineering, or infrastructure that enables teams to move fast without breaking things.
