Peter Kline

About Me

I'm a technical leader and solutions architect with over 25 years of experience spanning release engineering, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure. I specialize in building secure, compliant, and highly automated delivery pipelines — from CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code to SOC2 compliance and FDA-regulated software submissions. Along the way I've led cloud migrations to AWS and GCP, modernized legacy on-prem infrastructure, and built the tooling that lets engineering teams ship reliably and fast. I'm based in Brookline, New Hampshire, and currently Principal DevOps Engineer at Resero Analytics.
