Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Carroll is a systems engineer and DevOps technical lead with a decade of hands-on experience spanning circuit-level Navy electronics to production Kubernetes and applied AI/ML. He currently serves as the primary technical advisor and de facto systems architect for an Army-wide records system, where he led reverse engineering of three undocumented production systems to recover a multi-million-dollar contract and restored a missing development lifecycle. Christopher builds pragmatic, Unix-philosophy solutions—everything from zero-downtime RHEL upgrades and Docker-to-Podman migrations to a local-first LLM knowledge system and open-source MLOps pipelines. He has driven $15M in licensing savings by building an OpenCV-based test automation suite, rebuilt CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and routinely presents architecture to program managers and contracting officers. An active open-source practitioner (github.com/hikari-tadashi), he holds an active Secret clearance, is pursuing TS and CKA, and pairs tactical troubleshooting fluency from the Navy with enterprise delivery and customer-facing technical leadership.
