Experienced DevOps and Application Security Professional Seeking Remote Opportunities

Who I Am

I'm Tom Flanigan, a seasoned software developer with a strong focus on DevOps and application security. For over a decade, I've led critical initiatives in SDLC automation, cloud-based infrastructure, and proactive security strategies. My passion lies in enhancing team efficiency and fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

If you'd like to learn more about me personally and where I'm currently at in life, see my recent blog post.

What I Bring

  • Technical Expertise: Proficient in Python, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Platform, Terraform, and more. I have a continuous appetite for learning and consistently expand my skill set.
  • DevOps & Automation: Led the architecture and management of CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure, driving efficiency and reliability.
  • Security & Compliance: Specialized in supply chain security, vulnerability management, and automated testing, ensuring robust security across projects.
  • Leadership: Experienced working with cross-functional teams, mentoring developers, and implementing best practices in Agile and Scrum environments.

What I’m Looking For

  • Role: I’m best-suited to roles that allow me to apply my DevOps and security expertise, but am open-minded about pivoting into adjacent roles.
  • Culture: I thrive in environments that value genuineness, ethical leadership, and building trust through mutual respect.
  • Location: Seeking a US-based remote role, with no in-office or hybrid expectations.

Non-Negotiables

  • Work-Life Balance or Work-Life Alignment: I value either a relaxed work environment that allows time for creative passions, or a more demanding role that aligns closely with my personal interests, such as roles that intersect with art or music.
  • Compensation: Competitive salary offers are important. While salary ranges significantly below industry standards are not automatically disqualified, they should be balanced with sufficient compensatory benefits.

Let’s Connect

I’m open to exploratory discussions even if a role doesn’t match my criteria perfectly. If you believe I could be a good fit for your team, feel free to reach out via email or message me on LinkedIn. Let’s discuss if I can be a valuable contributor to your organization’s success.
