Chris Bednarski is a Senior Software Developer with 14 years of experience building backend systems and infrastructure tooling from Los Angeles, Australia. He combines hands-on engineering with DevOps sensibilities, contributing to high-profile open-source projects like HashiCorp's Nomad, Packer, and Terraform—work that spans client-side orchestration, image build automation, and AWS Lambda/provider integrations. At EBOS Group he applies this systems-first mindset to production services, drawing on earlier entrepreneurial and delivery roles where he led projects end-to-end. Comfortable in low-level platform details, he has implemented features such as Docker DNS configuration, port mapping, compression post-processors, and Lambda acceptance tests. Colleagues value his pragmatic problem-solving and ability to untangle circular dependencies and build-process complexity. Outside of work he likes to “make stuff” in varied domains—some edible, some battery-powered, and some that run the websites you use.
Nomad is an easy-to-use, flexible, and performant workload orchestrator that can deploy a mix of microservice, batch, containerized, and non-containerized applications. Nomad is easy to operate and scale and has native Consul and Vault integrations.
