I'm Christopher Whiten
A military-trained Site Reliability Engineer who believes the best incident is the one that never happens.
From Military Operations to Site Reliability
My approach combines battlefield-tested operational discipline with predictive AI/ML to transform reactive firefighting into proactive reliability engineering. Over 15+ years serving millions of users across financial services and healthcare, I've learned that true reliability comes from predicting failures before they occur.
Core Philosophy
"In the military, we learned that preparation prevents poor performance. In SRE, I apply the same principle: use data and AI to prepare for failures before they happen, not after."
Current Focus
Building next-generation AIOps platforms using MCP servers and machine learning for real-time infrastructure optimization. Creator of FailoverPro.ai - an intelligent monitoring platform that reduces alert fatigue by 97% through pattern recognition.
