Enterprise-Grade Paternal Infrastructure

Born from the sacred union of Cloud Platform Engineering, InfoSec, and IT. We didn't choose the dad life. The dad life was provisioned for us.

Powering the World's Most Dad-Forward Organizations

From startups to enterprises, these companies trust CPE Daddies to deliver paternal excellence at scale.

Dadabase Technologies

NoSQL Fatherhood Solutions

"Replaced our entire data layer with dad wisdom. Query performance is down but morale is through the roof."

Grillforce

BBQ-as-a-Service (BaaS)

"Series D funded. Our valuation is based entirely on brisket futures and propane analytics."

New Balance Security Group

Footwear-Adjacent Cybersecurity

"We protect networks with the same comfort and arch support our shoes provide. SOC 2 certified, orthopedic approved."

ThermostatOps

Climate Governance & Compliance

"Finally, a platform that understands: 68°F is not a suggestion, it's a policy. Unauthorized adjustments trigger PagerDuty."

NapOps

Enterprise Rest Orchestration

"We fell asleep during the demo. They said that meant the product was working as intended."

Cargo Shorts Capital

Dad-Focused Venture Fund

"We only invest in companies whose founders own at least three pairs of cargo shorts. Portfolio is up 420% in dad energy."

Helmsman & Sons

Chart-Based Parenting Deployments

"We tried deploying a baby with helm install. The liveness probe kept failing because it wouldn't stop crying. Rollback unsuccessful."

Istio Family Mesh

Domestic Service Mesh Solutions

"Now every conversation between family members goes through a sidecar proxy. Latency is up but at least we have full observability into who started it."

PromeDadus

Paternal Metrics & Alerting

"We alert on fridge_door_open_seconds > 30. The PromQL for tracking lawn quality has more lines than our production dashboards."

Meet the Daddies

Our world-class team of certified dad professionals

Cloud Platform Engineering

👑

Mike D

a.k.a. "The Terraform Whisperer"

Chief Dadification Officer

Architected the original dad joke pipeline. His cloud infrastructure runs on pure paternal instinct and an unreasonable number of Terraform modules. Once autoscaled a BBQ to feed three availability zones.

🐳

Matt H

a.k.a. "kubectl daddy"

VP of Container Dadification

Believes every problem can be solved by putting it in a container. Has Kubernetes running on his thermostat, his lawn mower, and at least one slow cooker. His pod disruption budget is zero because dad never takes a day off.

🔄

Matt P

a.k.a. "The Other One"

Matt 2.0 (Redundancy Specialist)

Deployed as a hot standby for Matt H. Ensures high availability of Matt-based opinions. Some say he was forked from the same repo, but his commit history tells a different story. Keeps insisting he was here first.

🚀

Josh

a.k.a. "Mr. Merge on Friday"

Senior Pipeline Patriarch

His CI/CD pipelines have never failed. His dad jokes have never succeeded. Deploys unsolicited career advice to production every Friday at 4:59 PM. Considers "it works on my machine" a valid parenting philosophy.

🏗️

James

a.k.a. "Stack Daddy"

Director of Cloud Dad Formations

Manages the dad stack with the precision of a CloudFormation template and the drift detection of a father who knows you didn't do your chores. His resource cleanup policy is "are you done with that? I'll take it."

🔨

Brian

a.k.a. "Captain Cargo Shorts"

Principal Dad Reliability Engineer

Keeps the platform running with 99.99% uptime and keeps the dad jokes running at 100% groan rate. Wrote an IaC module that automatically provisions New Balance shoes and cargo shorts for new hires.

InfoSec

🕵️

Zafer

a.k.a. "The Firewall Father"

Chief Zero-Trust Father

Trusts nothing and no one, especially the kids saying they finished their homework. Implemented MFA on the cookie jar and put a WAF in front of the refrigerator. His firewall rules are stricter than his curfew.

🔮

Bonnie

a.k.a. "The SIEM Queen"

Threat Hunting Mom (CPE Daddies is Inclusive)

Detects threats before they even become threats. Her incident response time is faster than a parent hearing a crash followed by suspicious silence. Has a sixth sense for unauthorized snack access attempts.

🔍

Mason

a.k.a. "The Ethical Destroyer"

Senior Penetration Testing Papa

Finds vulnerabilities in everything -- network perimeters, application layers, and the excuses his kids give for not cleaning their rooms. His vulnerability scans are thorough but his dad jokes are the real exploit.

🔐

Burak

a.k.a. "Vault Daddy"

Head of Secrets Dadagement

Manages secrets so well that nobody knows what he got anyone for their birthday. Rotates credentials faster than he rotates grilling duties. Encrypted his feelings and stored them in a vault with a 90-day TTL.

📜

Chris

a.k.a. "The Auditor General"

VP of Dad Compliance & Policy

Wrote the company's security policies and the household chore chart with the same level of rigor. Both have enforcement mechanisms. Audits bedtime compliance quarterly and issues findings reports at breakfast.

IT Operations

📞

Emily

a.k.a. "Ctrl+Alt+Mom"

Chief Have-You-Tried-Restarting Officer

Has resolved 10,000 tickets with the same answer: "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" Applies this philosophy to printers, servers, VPNs, and existential dread. Her ticket closure rate is matched only by her patience.

📦

Burise

a.k.a. "The Provisioner"

Director of New Dad Onboarding

Provisions laptops, badges, and unsolicited advice for every new hire. His onboarding checklist has 147 items and includes "learn to appreciate the thermostat setting." Asset management is his love language.

🔌

RP

a.k.a. "It's Always DNS"

Grand Wizard of Cables & Connectivity

Can crimp a CAT6 cable blindfolded and diagnose a network issue by the sound the switch makes. His cable management is so clean it brings a tear to your eye. Believes every problem is a DNS problem, and he's usually right.

What People Are Saying*

*Testimonials are as real as our quarterly OKRs. Any resemblance to actual events is grounds for a retrospective.

They told me to containerize my feelings. I've never been more productive.

Anonymous Engineer

CPE Daddies reduced our Mean Time to BBQ by 47%. Incredible ROI.

VP of Weekend Operations

I asked for help with my Kubernetes cluster. They asked if I'd tried turning it off and on again. It worked.

Junior Cloud Engineer

I opened a P1 incident at 2am. They responded in 30 seconds with 'Hi Hungry, I'm Dad.' Incident was resolved by the time I stopped laughing.

On-Call SRE, Somewhere in PagerDuty

They implemented zero-trust on the office snack cabinet. Now I need MFA, a manager approval, and a valid JIRA ticket to get a granola bar. Somehow the process still has fewer steps than our VPN setup.

Hungry Developer, Snack Denied

I said 'the cloud is just someone else's computer.' They didn't talk to me for three sprints.

Former Friend of CPE

Asked InfoSec to approve my SSH key. They asked me where I was on the night of the last security breach. I was at home. They said 'that's exactly what a threat actor would say.'

Suspect #47, Access Still Pending

Submitted a ticket asking IT to fix my monitor. They asked if I'd checked the cable. I had not checked the cable. It was the cable. I will never emotionally recover from this.

Humbled Product Manager

They gave a 45-minute conference talk titled 'Infrastructure as Dad.' Standing ovation. Three people cried. The CTO asked them to stop. They did not stop.

Attendee, DadConf 2025

Our Helm chart had 47 nested values overrides. CPE Daddies reviewed it and said 'this is more complicated than assembling IKEA furniture.' They were right. They then assembled both in under an hour. Without reading the instructions.

DevOps Engineer, yaml_trauma.yaml

They set up Istio service mesh in our household. Now every conversation between me and my kids has mutual TLS, retry policies, and a 30-second timeout. Dinner requests get circuit-broken after the third 'in a minute.'

Parent of Three Microservices

They ran Chaos Mesh on our Thanksgiving dinner. Randomly killed the oven pod mid-turkey. Injected network latency on the gravy service. The mashed potatoes survived but only because they were running as a StatefulSet.

Chaos Thanksgiving Survivor

Used ArgoCD to sync my son's chore list from a Git repo. He tried to revert the commit. I had branch protection enabled. He learned about RBAC the hard way.

GitOps Parent of the Year

Asked them why we need a service mesh. They said 'do you ask why you need air?' Then they deployed Cilium and now even the office plants have eBPF-based network policies. The ficus has never been more secure.

Confused but Protected Engineer

They configured Prometheus alerting for the office coffee machine. Mean time to empty pot is now tracked in Grafana. The on-call rotation for brewing a fresh pot reduced our p99 caffeine latency by 63%.

Staff SRE, Decaf Incident Responder

My etcd cluster had a split-brain problem. CPE Daddies achieved consensus in 3 seconds using the Raft protocol, which is apparently just Dad saying 'because I said so' until quorum is reached.
