Chris Briggs
@chrisbriggs
I build reliable Kubernetes and AWS platforms through Terraform, GitOps, observability, and incident-driven automation.
What I'm looking for
I've led Kubernetes platform design and operations for Kaizen Deliverables' e-commerce client, building multi-tenant environments with RBAC, namespace isolation, resource quotas, Helm, and ArgoCD GitOps workflows.
I operate and scale AWS infrastructure with Terraform and Terragrunt, automate CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and reduce manual deployment intervention. My automation improved release workflows by 40% and helped enhance system availability by 15% through incident response, root cause analysis, and post-incident improvements.
Previously at AIS Healthcare, I supported secure healthcare platforms through Kubernetes orchestration, AWS provisioning, observability, secrets management, IAM enforcement, and automated compliance checks. I improved release cadence and reduced deployment failures by 30%.
I started at American Airlines building full-stack features for Flight Attendant Experience applications, collaborating on scalable APIs, frontend components, reliability improvements, and deployment automation. I also mentor engineers in Kubernetes, GitOps, and cloud infrastructure practices.
