Todd Edwards / cloud + DevOps engineer

Hi, I’m Todd.Engineer.Always curious.

I’ve spent more than 15 years writing software, working with Linux, and figuring out cloud infrastructure. What I enjoy most is the hands-on side of engineering: understanding how things work, solving difficult problems, and making them a little better.

01 / About me

A little about me.
Beyond the job title.

I came up through software development, Linux, and systems engineering, and eventually found my way into cloud infrastructure and DevOps. I've always liked understanding the details rather than just the big picture.

These days I work at IBM in cloud and DevOps consulting. I'm still happiest when I'm working directly with technology, whether that's improving a CI/CD pipeline, digging into Kubernetes, or experimenting with local AI in my homelab.

  • I prefer hands-on engineering to buzzwords.
  • Simple, useful automation makes everyone's life easier.
  • There's always something new to learn.

02 / What I do

What I work on.

A few of the technical areas I've spent time in and keep coming back to.

01 / PLATFORM

Cloud & platform engineering

I enjoy working with cloud environments, containers, and Kubernetes, and making infrastructure easier to understand and maintain.

02 / DELIVERY

CI/CD & developer tooling

I've worked on build pipelines, GitHub migrations, and automation that makes day-to-day development less frustrating.

03 / SYSTEMS

Linux & systems automation

Linux is where I started. I still enjoy scripting, troubleshooting, observability, and seeing what I can do with my homelab.

03 / Tools of the trade

Tools I use.
