Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Lin is a senior SRE and CI/CD release engineer with 20+ years of hands-on experience architecting and automating enterprise software delivery across cloud-native and legacy environments. He has led SRE and platform initiatives at DataStax, Raytheon, and Capital One, specializing in Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, Jenkins, and AWS infrastructure as code. Equally comfortable designing architectures and writing the automation that runs them, he combines Java/Gradle-era enterprise roots with modern tooling like Docker, Ansible, and Flux/Helm for reproducible deployments. Certified across multiple AWS tracks, he’s built Blue/Green and infra-as-code pipelines that support microservices at scale and disaster recovery scenarios. A longtime consultant and founder, he brings rare continuity from J2EE-era distributed systems to today’s cloud-native stacks, often bridging security, compliance and developer ergonomics in regulated environments. Based in McLean, VA, he pairs deep technical breadth with a preference for pragmatic, test-automated release processes that reduce toil.
