Chris Becker is an SRE at Betterment. Previously, he did similar work on Warby Parker's Infrastructure team. At Betterment, he earned the label APT (advanced persistent threat) thanks to consistently tripping alarms with his peculiar scripts and commands.

With more people and keys to manage, the SRE team needed to find ways to automate more and reduce the maintenance overhead.
