Chris is a passionate technologist with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. During our time working together, Chris consistently championed the adoption of new and groundbreaking technologies that greatly benefited our organization. He played a pivotal role in operationalizing Kubernetes, implementing ephemeral environments, migrating to GitHub, adopting Power Platform, leveraging AI, and exploring many other game-changing tools. These initiatives substantially improved developer productivity, organizational agility, and IT's overall business value.

Chris has an innate ability to connect with colleagues and goes out of his way to share his vast technical expertise. One of his favorite phrases is "let me share my screen" because he is eager to teach and exceedingly generous with his time. I am incredibly grateful for all of the wisdom Chris has shared with me, and I look forward to the time when our paths will cross again.

I have worked with Chris over the year at Coyote in various project where he has shown his extensive knowledge in this tech is evident in the way they approach complex problems, their ability to find innovative solutions, and their commitment to staying up-to-date with the latest trending technologies. His time at Coyote had tremendous impact not only on the company but on the individual he worked with. He has mentored me and my growth over the year was exponential due to his dedication to teaching. I am grateful for the time we shared at Coyote.

I was lucky to get to know Chris for a few years when we worked at Coyote together. He was one of the top technical minds we had on the team. Trust me, he's qualified. Along with that, Chris is a relentless improvement advocate. He is not shy to point out what can be made better, and has some good ideas how to execute on it. He's a person that gets things done.

I highly recommend Chris Taylor for any role in the field of cloud-native technologies, DevOps, and infrastructure management. As an enterprise architect, Chris brought an unparalleled level of technical expertise and dedication to our projects, including Kubecost, Prometheus, Checkov, GitHub, and ArgoCD. His profound understanding of these technologies enabled us to optimize resource costs, establish robust monitoring and alerting systems, and implement effective GitOps practices. Chris's commitment to best practices, security, and teamwork made them an invaluable asset to our team, consistently delivering results and mentoring colleagues. I have no doubt that Chris Taylor would excel in any professional opportunity and bring exceptional value to any organization fortunate enough to have them onboard.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Chris Taylor during his time at Coyote Logistics. As an Enterprise Architect, he was an extremely impactful asset to the company, paving the way towards cutting edge technologies and efficiencies in the areas of automation (Terraform, DSC, GitHub Actions), Azure cloud services and offerings, hybrid cloud/on-premise architecture, project leadership, and much more.

While his official role was not specifically to be a mentor, what will last in my mind is how he took it upon himself to guide myself and others of my colleagues many times in our professional journeys. He and his team put together a training program specifically to educate those elsewhere in the organization and expose them to new ideas they might not otherwise become familiar with, always encouraging a deeper level of inquiry and learning. I always felt that he truly cared about the direction his colleagues' careers were headed in, offering guidance where he could. In team meetings, his input was extremely valuable, and his suggestions often paved the way for innovative solutions to challenging problems, delivered with some light-hearted jokes and a welcome sense of humor.

If you have the opportunity to work with Chris, I recommend that you take it. His blend of skill, ingenuity, and leadership is truly one-of-a-kind. Any organization would be fortunate to have him on board.

Chris combines hard work, incredible intelligence, and a curious nature to develop incredible cloud strategies and solutions. Chris is not only willing, but eager to help anyone that wants or needs it. His assistance to my teams in the area of Azure IaaS was, simply put, incredible. Our MS Azure Engineering reps called out our Azure deployment as one of the best they've seen. Leveraging IaaS, security, and various tools in the most advanced ways. On top of the impressive solution he helped design he did it with cost and security as guiding principles. If you need someone to fill an Enterprise Architect or similar role you will NOT find a person who cares more, works as hard, and as committed to success than Chris.

Chris has an indelible and infectious enthusiasm for solving complex problems and pushing the limits of what technology is capable of.

Anyone who gets the privilege of working with Chris will benefit from his ceaseless drive, eagerness to share and teach, and the overwhelming positivity of his attitude and demeanor.

I consider myself exceptionally lucky to have been able to work with Chris.

Chris is an amazing enterprise architect and engineer. His ability to embed with teams and guide them through standard cloud practices and software development makes him a force multiplier. He truly an asset. He sets the tone and his vulnerability makes others in the organization feel safe to come to him with questions and concerns. He can be trusted to lead well with outstanding outcomes. I've seen him sacrifice his time and energy to help others grow. I'm lucky to call him a colleague and friend.

Chris combines boundless technology dreaming and focus on client deliverables and goals. He not only looks for ways to improve manual processes, but always has his eye on looking for new technologies to simply and improve our application environments. I have come to whole-heartedly respect his insights on new designs and he is one of the first people I turn to these days to run new ideas by. More importantly, if you are ever in need of help or 20 minutes to discuss a project topic, he always finds time and is one of the first people to step forward to aid a fellow team member.

Chris and I worked together on of my first cloud projects at Coyote. Chris assisted our team in numerous brain storming sessions and was known for always bringing new solutions to the table. Chris is always a pleasure to work with!

I absolutely love working with Chris. You won't find a more dedicated and passionate engineer when it comes to diverse and complex dev-ops automation, tooling, and quality of life in the cloud. The depth of knowledge Chris has in the Azure space is an asset that has taken us from 'a foot in the door of cloud' to 160+ services terraformed, containerized, and confident we're doing it on a rock solid foundation. Chris will make sure any question you have gets answered and is willing to take on any challenge you put before it. He has really been a force multiplier for us at Coyote. I will certainly never lose his contact info!

Chris really knows DevOps and SDLC. I had the privilege of working with Chris for both local user group meetings and a DevOps conference. It is great to see him share his deep knowledge, skills and technical creativity with others outside his company. If you see his name pop up at an event, don't miss it!

I had the pleasure of working with Chris on a project for Coyote Logistics. Chris not only did a fantastic job in translating deep technical concepts across department silos, but his true strength was being able to recognize where the business was and helping to build the bridge into the vision Coyote had heading into the cloud.

You can't get to the future without getting everyone on the same page in seeing your vision, and Chris did exactly that. He made me a believer.

Chris is the guy you want on your team when s*** hits the fan. He's a big-picture thinker who can quickly learn what you as a developer are trying to do and work with you to reach a solution that fits your needs. In working with Chris, I was most impressed with his ability to really listen to me. He took into account the unique characteristics of my project and provided me with options for improvement. His deep listening skills and his quick mind really put him in a class of his own as a problem solver.

Are there words to describe Chris Taylor? I am not sure that my writing skills can adequately capture the entirety of who he is and the value he provides. He is a superhero. He swoops in with great knowledge, skill, intelligence and experience to respond to calls for help. He goes above and beyond whether its breaking down silos in an organization or supporting the success of high stake, high pressure data science cloud development and deployment.

His unparalleled awesomeness is paired with his humanity. He understands human psychology, needs and cycles. He promotes cross functional team collaboration. He not only coaches, but when needed, he will roll up his sleeves, grab on and help lift heavy objects.

It is a privilege and an honor to have the opportunity to learn from, collaborate with and build the future with Chris.

I had the opportunity to collaborate with Chris and his team recently. I was impressed by not only his knowledge, but also his passion and his very approachable nature. Chris seems to have a knack for bringing people together on his team and that's a rare skill. I enjoyed working with Chris and look forward to working with him in the future!

Working with Chris is certainly anything but boring.

Chris has an infectious desire to innovate and tackle the tough problems. He'll have you asking yourself 'why haven't I considered this before' more than once, or even twice.

I'd say Chris's desire to innovate is only matched by his desire to teach. When you're working on a project with Chris, you're going to be walking away with new tools under your belt.

I owe Chris countless drinks for late night help debugging, daily mentorship, and spot on technical assessments.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris at JPMorgan Chase. His commitment to doing the right thing, for the customer, for the team, and for the code, made him an invaluable teammate. He was constantly working on improving himself, learning new technologies, helping others improve, and always ready to take on difficult challenges.

Chris and I have never had the pleasure of working together, but I hope to have that experience someday. He and I met on LinkedIn when we both commented on a post and started talking. He immediately impressed me with his deep knowledge of software engineering and best practices, his desire to mentor early career professionals like myself and his wicked sense of humor. In particular, I admire that he didn't allow me to assume I had little value to immediately contribute. He encouraged me to set my goals higher than I previously had and continues to do so.

Chris would be an excellent addition to any team looking to add an experienced mentor and leader to their senior architecture team.

Some people are so good at what they do that when they join a project they change the laws of physics. They prevent the fire from ever happening, they subsidize the individual gaps of the team to create a multiplier effect, and they make the show-stopper problems seem easy.

They do so because they're really smart and have dedicated their life to the craft.

I've been lucky to work on a few projects with Chris.

Chris Taylor is one of those people.

Chris is the most passionate person I have ever worked with. I worked with Chris first as a peer, and then his manager, for over 5 years. Chris' passion for technology, and frankly, everything he does, exhibits itself in a tireless work ethic, ceaseless curiosity, and revolutionary thinking. Many of his strengths align as a strategic thought leader, but Chris is one of those rare individuals who is also a tactical leader. For Chris, the work isn't complete until he has implemented it.

On a personal level what stands out to me about Chris is how approachable he is. He has a great sense of humor and the ability to discuss almost any topic with depth and insight while remaining open-minded.

If you are looking for someone who embraces a challenge and brings both strategic and tactical skills to your company I would highly recommend Chris Taylor.

Chris is an amazing person to work with. I had the opportunity to work with him in 2019 and early 2020. I would consider him an excellent mentor and motivator. Chris is a visionary with the ability to rally teams to drive towards a single goal and path forward. He brings his years of experience as a Software Engineer and Consultant to every situation he tackles. He's great with partnering and listening to the users across the organization and champion their ideas. But at the same time not afraid to provide input while strategically thinking about the abilities of the company at an enterprise-wide perspective to make the idea better. His work process setups up the projects he tackles for success.

Chris is a cloud magician. He's helped solve numerous intractable architectural problems for both my team, and the company as a whole. We've worked through scaling problems, complex CI/CD flows, and hybrid cloud networking solutions. He's a great engineer and is always willing to put in extra time to help anyone who reaches out.

Chris Taylor was a pleasure to work with on our Axis project. Not only did he bring great technical programing skills to the project, but he also brought a great personality and attitude that improved relationships within our organization. In addition to his technical programing skills he brought TFS to our organization and implemented it without any trouble. He then brought our entire development team onto the agile platform and productivity went through the roof. Chris was also able to provide some of the best Architectural guidance our team has ever had. I would highly recommend Chris to any organization that is looking to bring him on for his technical expertise, you will be extremely satisfied with his productivity. If it wasn't for Chris Taylor we would have never delivered our software at the high standard that is at today.

Chris and I worked on a DotNetNuke website project for a Ultimate Warranty located in Cleveland, OH. He was a truly a please to work with and an amazing ASP programmer with a superb technical knowledge of DotNetNuke. I hope to work again with him in the future and would recommend him for any programming needs you may have.
