Chris Fulara is a Senior Lead Software Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience spanning kernel and hypervisor work to cloud-native services and web UIs, currently leading engineering at Capital One. A University of Michigan computer engineering graduate with deep roots in embedded systems and computer architecture, he blends low-level expertise (PR/SM hypervisor, micro-kernel testing) with DevOps, CI/CD, and AWS infrastructure automation. He’s passionate about home automation, 3D printing and Android development, and is known for improving developer tooling, test automation, and disaster-resilient infrastructure. Chris has repeatedly moved teams from manual processes to reproducible pipelines and infrastructure-as-code, and has a knack for building small custom tools (e.g., terraform providers, Rex/Python tooling) that dramatically speed development and debugging. Based in Richmond, VA, he combines pragmatic engineering leadership with a tilt toward hardware-adjacent projects and manufacturing alternatives.
