Levi DeHaan

If you're ready to collaborate with someone who will shift your perspective on what's possible in tech, let's talk. I have a passion for software and systems that can energize any team, and I’m driven by the belief that great software comes from people who enjoy the process of creating it. From my earliest days building websites for local businesses to designing scalable server architectures that serve millions, I’ve had the privilege of diving deep into computing at every level. This passion isn't just a feeling; it has fueled a career focused on innovation and tangible results. I have a proven track record of: Rapidly Mastering New Roles: I thrive on new challenges, which is how I advanced to lead the DevOps, SRE, and Cloud Infrastructure Services teams at Petco within just six months of joining. Building & Transforming Teams: I believe in empowering people. I transformed one of my teams by implementing AI automation, reducing ticket closure times from six months to mere hours and freeing up my engineers to focus on more strategic initiatives. Driving Efficiency Through Automation: I have consistently introduced technologies that produce measurable results, such as taking a company's deployment time from 3-4 weeks down to less than a day. Architecting AI-Centric Systems: My experience in AI is deep and long-standing. Most recently, as an Automation and AI Systems Architect, I spearheaded the development of a cutting-edge Large Language Model (LLM) serving framework, deploying dynamic AI systems across AWS, Azure, and on-premise GPU clusters. As a single father of four, balancing life and work is more than a goal—it's an art. Working from home allows me to be both a dedicated parent and a highly productive engineer. I do this work because I love it, and I'm always driven to learn and build what's next. Specialties: LLM Automation & Deployment, Scalable Architectures, DevOps, CI/CD, Kubernetes, Cloud Infrastructure (AWS/Azure), Server & Network Management, Software & System Architecture, Web Development, Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR).
