Christie Wilson

Christie Wilson is a software engineer. She is a frequent speaker on CI/CD and related topics at conferences like Kubecon, OSCON, QCon, PyCon and more. Christie started her career in mobile web application development, working on backend services for AAA games where she wrote features that wouldn’t be used until the big launch, when everyone would use them at once. To enable that, she built systems for load and system testing.

Leveraging the experience she gained at these previous companies dealing with complex deployment environments, high criticality systems, and bursty traffic patterns, she moved on to work at Google where she built internal productivity tooling for AppEngine, bootstrapped Knative, and created Tekton, a cloud native CI/CD platform built on Kubernetes (currently contributed to by 65+ companies).
