I lead DevOps, Infrastructure, and Release Engineering at Miris, navigating the classic startup tension of moving fast while building for scale. My team supports everything from Unity automation and mobile releases to cloud infrastructure and SRE, all enabling our 3D/4D Gaussian splat streaming platform for AR/VR devices. The challenge is establishing engineering practices and reliability culture that keep pace with rapid growth without becoming bureaucratic, ensuring development teams ship quickly while maintaining the operational rigour needed to deliver spatial content worldwide.

SKILLS
ABOUT CHRIS COOPER
I make large, complex processes manageable. I get people on the same page, and lead engineering teams to success.I thrive at the intersection of technology, people, and process. With over 15 years of experience leading distributed engineering teams, I specialize in scaling internal platforms, driving large-scale technology migrations, and fostering high-performing, people-first organizations.My leadership philosophy centers on building resilient, empowered teams. I prioritize collaboration, mentorship, and inclusion, ensuring that engineering teams are both technically excellent and deeply engaged. I have successfully rebuilt critical teams after layoffs, navigated organizations through complex structural changes, and led high-stakes migrations that transformed CI/CD efficiency, reducing job cycle times by orders of magnitude. I\'m a staunch advocate of Observability as the only viable way to reliably debug complex systems in the wild.From revamping Unity’s continuous integration platform to overseeing Mozilla’s shift to cloud-based infrastructure, I have consistently delivered scalable solutions that support thousands of developers. Whether optimizing CI pipelines, implementing AI-driven automation, or future-proofing infrastructure, I excel at aligning technical strategy with business needs.I believe that great engineering isn\'t just about writing code—it\'s about creating an environment where engineers can do their best work.When I\'m not leading teams, you’ll find me with a frisbee in hand, whether playing disc golf or ultimate.
