SeniorChristopher Mcgowan is a seasoned cloud and infrastructure engineer with over 25 years in enterprise IT and more than seven years building cloud-native platforms, currently supporting cloud.gov.

Christopher is fluent in Golang, Python, and Bash and leverages deep git/GitHub expertise to drive infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and observability using ELK and Prometheus.

Known for pragmatic cost and governance guidance, he pairs strategic architecture experience from banking and retail with hands-on platform operations. Outside the obvious, he’s repeatedly moved complex, high-scale systems between vendors and clouds while preserving near-zero downtime and service continuity.
