I’m Corey Wilson — a husband, father, and engineering manager based in Abbotsford, British Columbia. I lead cloud infrastructure and platform engineering teams, helping organizations scale reliably while reducing cost and complexity.

I specialize in DevOps, site reliability engineering, and platform development. My work centers on building resilient systems, accelerating developer velocity, and designing architectures that balance performance, maintainability, and cost.

I have a passion for learning new technologies and an obsession with automation — from GitHub workflows to infrastructure pipelines — that turn ideas into reliable systems. My approach blends pragmatism and creativity: following best practices when they work, and improving on them when they don’t.

Outside of work, I’m usually running at dawn, lifting at the gym, or exploring outdoors with my family. At home, you’ll find me reading philosophy, sketching my next D&D campaign, or watching sci-fi with my kids while progressive metal plays in the background.

Let’s build something that lasts.
