Profile / 01
Experienced judgment from architecture through operations.
I’m Christopher Welle, a San Jose–based cloud infrastructure and IT professional. I’ve supported startups, public agencies, healthcare organizations, global brands, and Fortune 100 enterprises across architecture, systems engineering, DevOps, security, networking, disaster recovery, and production operations.
My work connects enterprise architecture with hands-on implementation: understand the environment, identify the real risks, and build systems that are secure, repeatable, supportable, and aligned with the business.
Capabilities / 02
Complex systems.
Clear next steps.
From enterprise cloud platforms to the technology that keeps a local office moving.

- Kubernetes, EKS & containers
- Linux & Windows systems
Security, resilience & FinOps
Practical controls, recovery planning, and cost discipline for infrastructure that must stay available.
- Security reviews & remediation
- Identity, encryption & monitoring

Selected work / 03
Experience measured in delivered systems.
Architecture earns its value when it survives contact with production.
Migration
386Domains moved to Route 53
A large domain portfolio migrated into AWS with structured infrastructure support.
Governance
Multi-accountAWS foundations
Control Tower environments with centralized billing, logging, auditing, organizational units, and policy controls.
Delivery
By codeProduction platforms
Highly available, multi-environment infrastructure using Terraform, CloudFormation, CI/CD, Kubernetes, and EKS.
Risk
RegulatedSecurity-minded delivery
Public-sector, healthcare, GDPR-related, and HIPAA-related environments with security review and remediation work.
Perspective / 04
Enterprise depth.
Practical execution.
I’ve worked across the full technology lifecycle—from classroom networks and corporate systems administration to high-availability cloud platforms and enterprise AWS architecture.
That range matters. Cloud problems are rarely confined to one service. Architecture, networking, identity, security, deployment, monitoring, support, recovery, cost, and the people operating the system all affect the outcome.
My approach is straightforward: understand the real problem, prioritize the important risks, implement a practical solution, and leave behind clear documentation and maintainable systems.
