About Me
Christopher Stroud
Professional Summary
I’m a technology leader specialising in Observability, telemetry platforms and operational intelligence in complex, regulated environments. I build the systems, teams and data foundations that help organisations understand system behaviour, reduce operational noise and make better decisions.
My work blends strategic direction with practical engineering insight. I’ve led full‑stack Observability delivery, log analytics platforms, CMDB architecture, ITSM integration and performance analytics, always with a focus on clarity, reliability and measurable outcomes. I work closely with engineering, operations and senior stakeholders to align roadmaps, secure investment and guide architectural decisions.
I stay hands‑on because it makes me a better leader. I’m naturally curious and spend my spare time building, automating and experimenting with technology and creative projects, which keeps me close to how systems behave in the real world and strengthens how I support engineering teams.
What motivates me is creating platforms and data ecosystems that become essential to how organisations operate, helping teams move from reactive firefighting to proactive, insight‑driven operations.
