Hi, I'm Chris Borrero, a Senior DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with 8+ years of experience building, securing, and optimizing cloud-native infrastructures. I specialize in deploying and managing AWS EKS clusters, Kubernetes, and Terraform, and I design observability frameworks using Prometheus and Grafana. I'm passionate about zero-trust security, mTLS, and automating workflows with CI/CD and IaC. In past roles at Orlando Health, Twitter, and IBM, I've delivered scalable, secure architectures, implemented stateful and multi-tenant workloads, and collaborated across teams to raise security and reliability to mission-critical levels.
