Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Cosby is a Principal DevOps Engineer with over 20 years in software and 14 years of focused experience in automation, CI, and infrastructure engineering. He combines hands-on systems work—from VMware virtualization to OpenStack experimentation—with a founder’s mentality honed running his own platform company. Known as a pragmatic “hacker” who turns disparate parts into reliable, repeatable systems, he prioritizes automating menial tasks so teams can focus on higher-value problems. His background spans UNIX, build pipelines, Gerrit/Git workflows, and scripting in Python and Ruby, with early career depth in medical imaging and POS systems. Comfortable troubleshooting the toughest operational issues, he favors practical solutions over low-level C/C++ toil or Windows desktop administration. Based in Buford, Georgia, he brings a curious, playful approach to new tech while delivering production-grade infrastructure at scale.
