Chris Parker
Cloud Architect & Agilest From Texas, USA
I started my IT career as a full stack software engineer, coding desktop and then web based solutions for clients throughout the united states. Spending years within waterfall teams, I realized there was a better way to accelerate teams and time to market. Diving head first into agile, I’ve studied and certified myself in various frameworks such as, Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe. My unique skillset allows me architect or co-architect cloud solutions and help accelerate teams to implement the solutions.
