25 Years at the Edge

David Moore has spent 25 years at the intersection of infrastructure and mission-critical operations — starting as a Unix lab admin supporting Navy weapons systems development at Dahlgren, Virginia, and building progressively deeper expertise across every layer of the modern technology stack.

From those early years administering Solaris, HP-UX, and Linux servers in demanding environments, David moved into enterprise systems administration — rebuilding corporate infrastructure, architecting Active Directory at scale, and serving as ISSM managing accreditation and security baselines for government contractors.

His work supporting DoD clients put him at the forefront of container adoption — deploying applications as microservices on Kubernetes before it was mainstream and modernizing DevOps pipelines using cutting-edge tooling. A pioneer of container technology within the organization, he built and scaled multiple Kubernetes clusters establishing highly resilient environments. He also championed DevOps principles and early container adoption at USPTO before either was standard practice — driving agencies toward real automation before the rest of the industry caught up.

He later brought that same government-grade rigor to the commercial SaaS world — owning cloud infrastructure end-to-end and modernizing CI/CD across dev, staging, and production for large-scale platforms.

In February 2026, David founded Anvil Cloud LLC — bringing together everything he's built over a career spanning Navy labs, DoD agencies, and commercial SaaS into a boutique consultancy that helps government and enterprise clients adopt, integrate, and operationalize AI and cloud infrastructure.
