About Nicholas Lederman

I’m a DevOps and infrastructure engineer with 9 years of experience at Reveal Brainspace, where I specialize in designing, automating, and optimizing complex systems. I’m known for tackling challenging “nobody-else-knows-how” projects—usually through custom scripting and architectural best practices—to ensure our engineering teams can move faster and more reliably. Key Achievements & Projects- Database Upgrade Orchestration: Built a tool to automate schema upgrades across multiple applications, ensuring seamless rollouts and reducing downtime- System Bootstrap Tooling: Developed frameworks to handle initial configurations for various applications, accelerating setup times and reducing manual errors- Custom Scheduling Solutions: Implemented scheduling logic to spin up containers in response to unique workloads (not handled by KEDA), improving resource efficiency- Kubernetes Infrastructure: Led the setup and maintenance of production-grade Kubernetes clusters, enabling scalable, high-availability services- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform: Spearheaded the Terraform rollout to provision the entire tech stack from scratch, standardizing configurations and simplifying deployments. I’m passionate about building repeatable, reliable systems and love finding creative solutions to infrastructure challenges. Outside of core DevOps work, I enjoy mentoring junior engineers and working with other teams to help make everyone's lives better.
