Chris Cooney is a Director of Advocacy and former hands-on engineer with 11 years of experience who blends deep technical craft with strategic leadership across cloud, Kubernetes, observability and developer engagement. He has led technical strategy for large programs and a 200-person department, built PaaS and migration strategies at scale for enterprises, and now scales advocacy, product marketing and content that resonates with engineers globally. A prolific coder who still writes production code regularly, he creates technical videos, talks at conferences, and founded a content-first agency (WriteOps) to bridge engineering and storytelling. Based in Northern Ireland, he combines real-world cloud-native delivery experience with a knack for turning complex observability topics into compelling educational material. Not obvious at first glance: he pairs engineering with creative outreach—sometimes even interpretive dance—to make technical ideas stick.
