Christopher Blakey is a datacenter operations leader with eight years of hands-on experience ensuring reliable electrical power and distribution for hyperscale facilities, currently managing operations at Google. He leverages nine years of US Navy nuclear experience—serving as a Nuclear Electronics Technician, instructor, and lead supervisor—to bring disciplined procedural compliance, failure analysis, and shift-level electrical expertise to complex infrastructure. His background spans frontline operations at AWS and site electrical leadership, where he drove process improvements and team scheduling for large-scale power systems. Meticulous and self-driven, he combines technical rigor with practical leadership, coordinating preventative maintenance and emergent response under high-stakes conditions. Based in Omaha, he pairs a bachelor’s in Nuclear Engineering Technology with real-world reactor and data center electrical operations, an unusual crossover that informs robust risk-aware decision making. His dry GitHub humor hints at a pragmatic, root-cause-oriented mindset behind his operational focus.
