My Skills

Hey there! πŸ‘‹ I'm Chris

Senior SRE | Cloud & Platform Engineer | Content Creator

I'm a Platform Engineer with 5+ years of experience turning cloud chaos into beautifully orchestrated infrastructure. 🌀️ By day, I wrangle Kubernetes clusters and build self-service platforms at Tempo.io. By night, I create educational content about Cloud, Kubernetes, and AI over on my YouTube channel and blog.

πŸš€ What I'm Up To

  • πŸ”§ Building production-grade platforms with GKE, FluxCD, and Terraform
  • πŸ“Š Crafting observability solutions with Grafana, Prometheus & Loki
  • πŸ€– Exploring MLOps, AI Agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  • πŸŽ₯ Teaching Cloud & Kubernetes concepts through bite-sized tutorials
  • β˜• Drinking coffee while debugging YAML (it's a lifestyle)

πŸ’Ό Experience Highlights

  • Migrated platform management from ArgoCD β†’ FluxCD (living dangerously! πŸ˜…)
  • Consolidated 5 clusters down to 3, because less is more
  • Built unified incident management platforms (goodbye, legacy tools!)
  • Automated all the things with GitHub Actions, CircleCI & Cloud Build
  • Terraform'd 500+ repos into submission

πŸŽ“ Certifications (Yes, I Collected Them All)

  • Google Cloud Professional Architect ☁️
  • CKA | CKAD | KCNA | KCSA (Kubernetes royalty πŸ‘‘)
  • VMware VCP x3 (Application Modernization, Network Virtualization, Desktop Mobility)
  • CCNP Security | Cisco Security Architecture

πŸ› οΈ My Tech Stack

Cloud & Infrastructure: GCP, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, FluxCD, ArgoCD
IaC & Automation: Terraform, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Cloud Build
Observability: Grafana, Prometheus, Loki
Emerging Tech: MLOps, AI Agents, Model Context Protocol

🌎 Beyond the Terminal

When I'm not shipping infrastructure or recording videos, you'll find me exploring Calgary with my family, tinkering with my homelab, or planning my next YouTube tutorial. Always open to connecting with fellow cloud engineers and content creators!
