Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKris Freedain is a Community Manager with 10 years of software and IT experience, currently leading community programs for the OpenSearch Project at AWS from Portland, Oregon. He blends hands-on front-end contributions to the opensearch.org website with strategic community growth, having scaled forum visits and page views several-fold and helped grow a global user group network from zero to 13 chapters. Kris designs inclusive engagement programs—Unconferences, event booths, and social media strategies—that elevate technical voices and surface community leaders, and he played a role on the Leadership Committee that advanced OpenSearch toward a foundation model under the Linux Foundation. Known for pragmatic process work from his release-management roots, he pairs operational rigor with empathy, and outside work he’s a father, meditator, and garage-gym powerlifter who brings discipline and steady stewardship to open-source community building.
