Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Harris is a Staff Engineer based in Greater Boston with a decade of hands-on experience building distributed systems and large-scale data pipelines for cloud cost and usage visibility. At Datadog he led the founding architecture for Cloud Cost Management and now re-architects billing and revenue engineering systems, designing pipelines that ingest tens of billions of line items per day and validate cost accuracy down to 1/10,000th of a cent. He has a track record of turning complex cloud billing data into production-grade products—proving inaccuracies in AWS reports to AWS itself—and scaling teams from single engineers to a 14-person organization. Prior roles at CloudHealth and VMware show deep expertise in multi-cloud ETL, data warehouse/lake optimization, and cost-conscious BigQuery/Redshift designs that dramatically cut query time and costs. A former technical leader and maintainer on FinOps FOCUS, he blends product intuition with rigorous engineering practices and a background that spans frontend UX to backend distributed architecture. Christopher pairs a Master’s in Computer Science with practical experience shipping high-throughput systems that prioritize accuracy, cost efficiency, and observability.
