My name is Ben Vaughan and I work to improve the lives of teams who run software in production.
I am a professional leader who is skilled in creating positive, process-oriented, secure, and performant DevSecOps teams who understand that DevOps is a philosophy, not a job description. I am deeply committed to the idea that Good Process leads to Good Results.
I have worked in a wide range of industries, from Higher Education to FinTech to eCommerce and I have brought stability and balance to burned-out Ops teams through the introduction and enforcement of good processes, standards, openness, and teamwork.
I am passionate about security, automation, incident response, observability tools, and the idea that good policy drives good process which delivers good outcomes.
