Matt Grojean

Senior Systems Engineer

I build sustainable Azure infrastructure running in more locations with less work. Terraform modules, CI/CD pipelines, and automation that reduces operational overhead—not just shifts it somewhere else. Less manual work, less context-switching, less burnout. That's the goal.
