Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Chapin is a Senior Cloud Solutions Architect at Microsoft with eight years focused on cloud, hybrid identity, and security and a two-decade foundation in systems and infrastructure engineering. He blends hands-on identity and AD expertise—from large Exchange and federation migrations to hybrid identity consulting—with cloud architecture practice at Microsoft. An active security researcher on GitHub, he contributes to advanced binary instrumentation and antivirus-evasion tooling, showing deep low-level skills in instrumentation, shellcode, and injection techniques beyond typical cloud roles. Based in Glen Allen, Virginia, he pairs a mechanical engineering background and an IT degree with practical enterprise experience, enabling a systems-oriented approach to secure cloud design. Colleagues rely on him to bridge legacy identity estates and modern cloud security controls while retaining a researcher’s curiosity for novel attack and detection tradeoffs.
