Summary
Christopher Edwards is a seasoned systems and ML Ops engineer with 14 years of experience modernizing legacy systems and delivering production-ready, automated infrastructure. Currently leading ML Ops and system administration at ABSC after five years as a solutions architect, he blends solution architecture, DevSecOps, TDD, and Chef-driven automation to move complex healthcare and enterprise platforms from prototype to stable operations. He previously co-led the database architecture for the VA’s eHMP platform, built repeatable Vagrant/Docker deployment pipelines, and contributed to open-source VistA tooling—experience that informs his pragmatic approach to integrating old and new stacks. Based in Centreville, VA, he pairs hands-on programming across M/MUMPS, Node.js and C# with on-call production support, making him as comfortable writing parsers and APIs as he is running them at scale. An under-the-radar strength is his track record of creating automated, repeatable development environments that accelerate team productivity and reduce operational risk.
