Kris Coleman is a customer reliability and platform engineering leader with nine years of hands-on experience building cloud-native, developer-centric systems that bridge product vision and production reality. He has led platform overhauls and delivery automation—transforming multi-repo infrastructure into unified, extensible platforms that support SaaS and air-gapped enterprise deployments while enabling multiple daily releases. Kris blends deep technical delivery (Kubernetes, IaC, GitOps, CI/CD, GraphQL) with applied AI for auditable, production-safe automation and policy authoring. He’s equally comfortable mentoring teams and shaping product strategy, championing trunk-based development and self-service developer experiences that remove friction and accelerate time to value. A former director and current customer reliability engineer and co-founder, he brings a pragmatic experimental mindset that turns moonshots into usable tools developers actually adopt. Based in Michigan, he pairs cross-stack fluency (Go, TypeScript, Python, C#) with a customer-obsessed approach to reliability and observability.
