Summary
👤
SeniorChris Haessig is a Principal Customer Success Engineer in San Francisco with 11 years’ experience designing and operating cloud-native infrastructure, specializing in Kubernetes and service meshes. He has repeatedly led migrations to EKS/Kubernetes, introduced Istio for ingress and mTLS, and implemented federated monitoring and GitOps (ArgoCD) in regulated environments. His background spans startups to large orgs—building CI/CD, Terraform IaC, and custom Go utilities to solve production routing and node-to-node encryption challenges. Notably, he has practical experience bringing service mesh and observability into mission-critical fleets, and he automated certificate workflows using Vault at scale. Chris blends hands-on SRE/DevOps execution with customer-facing success work, helping teams adopt resilient, secure platforms. He’s equally comfortable authoring low-level tooling and guiding enterprise adoption of modern cloud patterns.
