Caleb Hurd is an Site Reliability Engineer at Chick-fil-A with a broad background that includes Fortune 500’s, startups and everything in between. However, his passion is specifically in enabling small development teams to deliver their software reliably and rapidly to customers by empowering them with the tools and pipelines to do so.
With the recent explosion in incredible, but also confusing technologies that enable rapid delivery, Caleb enjoys fitting together just the right tools for the right job.
He enjoys photography, coffee and his kids... He also happens to work on SRE stuff in his spare time.
