Background

About Tay Best

I'm a systems engineering professional with hands-on experience in project management and improving workflow efficiency in fast-paced, compliance-driven environments. I manage software deployment infrastructures, support Agile methodologies, and customize Jira projects to align with team goals. I'm passionate about solving complex technical problems, automating repetitive tasks, and making the most of the resources available to me. I’ve led and contributed to a variety of enterprise-level projects where I implemented tools and solutions to streamline operations—from building Jira intake systems using Python to optimizing SQL queries for data validation and reporting. My work has spanned across application support, performance monitoring with tools like AppDynamics and Splunk, and hands-on deployment using Ansible and uDeploy. I take pride in my ability to translate technical insight into scalable, repeatable processes that drive team productivity and system stability. In addition to my corporate experience, I’ve also run a successful e-commerce business and managed short-term rental operations as a Superhost. These ventures strengthened my skills in customer experience, inventory oversight, automation, and business analysis. I thrive in roles where I can blend my technical skills with creative problem-solving to deliver results and continually optimize performance.
