About Christopher Grant

Technology Leader. Systems Thinker. Writer.

I write about cloud architecture, DevOps, SaaS strategy, and what it really takes to scale technology teams and systems — without losing your mind (or your budget).

After years inside some of the biggest and most complex orgs in tech, I’ve learned how to simplify the chaos: what works, what breaks, and how to make better decisions without getting buried in buzzwords.

👨‍💻 Career in Brief

I’m currently a Staff Solutions Architect at Google Cloud, working at the intersection of AI, cloud infrastructure, and developer productivity. Before that, I led platform modernization efforts at The Home Depot and helped scale systems and teams for both startups and enterprises.

I specialize in:

Cloud Platforms – Deep experience across GCP, AWS, and Azure

DevOps & Platform Engineering – Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC, reliability

Software Architecture – Scalable systems, service design, integration patterns

Leadership & Strategy – Technical direction, team scaling, cost/efficiency tradeoffs

✍️ Why I Write

I don’t write to pontificate. I write to share real lessons, tradeoffs, and patterns that others can use. If you’re a CTO, engineer, or operator trying to make sense of the tech mess — you’re in the right place.

My writing is:

Grounded in the real world

Focused on clarity and outcomes

Less theory, more practice
