Jason Camp
I'm a hands-on Staff Platform Engineer with 25+ years building and operating resilient infrastructure across adtech, agtech, fintech, crypto, healthcare, and AI. I design developer-friendly Kubernetes platforms, infrastructure-as-code foundations, CI/CD systems, and observability that improve reliability, delivery speed, and cost. I lead through architecture, standards, code, and mentoring, and I stay close to the systems. Recent work includes a multi-region EKS migration that cut deployment time from 1 hour to 5 minutes and infrastructure cost by 50%, plus production multi-provider LLM routing with failover and DR patterns. I've been part of early teams acquired by Yahoo!, Google, and Gemini, won TechCrunch Disrupt 2015, and hold two US patents in fintech.

Lead Platform Engineer
DEC 2023 – PRESENTOwn Procare's cloud platform end to end: architecture with product, multi-region EKS operations and upgrades, DR strategy, cost optimization, release management, IaC, and internal tooling. Set technical direction for platform and AI infrastructure, supporting agentic systems and multi-LLM workloads in production, as technical lead for a two-engineer infrastructure group.
- Migrated legacy CloudFormation and instance-based infrastructure to Terragrunt/OpenTofu and multi-region EKS, cutting deployment times from 1 hour to 5 minutes and infrastructure costs by 50%.
- Set the reference architecture for reusable Terraform modules and GitOps promotion pipelines on Bitbucket Pipelines, ArgoCD, and Scalr, adopted across the company's applications. Tested artifacts reach production unchanged, and product teams ship through a self-service deploy path.
- Designed multi-provider LLM routing with failover, DR patterns for AI workload state, and observability for non-deterministic systems.
- Support product engineers as internal customers of the platform; mentor engineers on infrastructure design and operational readiness.
Staff Platform Engineer
