Chris is one of the most inspiring tech guys I have met! Also he is a natural Developer Advocate and really cares for his colleagues and for the community. He is also a master tennis player with JIRA tickets and developer requests in Slack. However he really helps in tasks when we need to design something and make a smart tech plan. He always has teaching stories from his decades of tech experience and adventures. Working and striving with him has been inspiring and fun.
I've worked with Chris for about 8 months in CognitoiQ when was the inceptions of the Cloud Team. He helped me to shape the team, but also he played a really important place in the team. He was the Sr. resource I had by that time and took the big task of embedding himself onto the Support Team, making them change the way they've been working for ages, playing as a role model for that team. He helped the team understand the message I was proposing. For this and many more, I think Chris is a must have resource for any company thinking on moving or supporting cloud technologies.I've worked with Chris for about 8 months in CognitoiQ when was the inceptions of the Cloud Team.

Chris has been both a fantastic manager as well as a great mentor. As a manager he successfully lead our team, was a great source for system administration knowledge as well as being a hoot to be around. I found Chris to be extremely dependable and at no point did I not feel supported. It would be very hard to find a manager of that caliber.
I had the pleasure of working with Chris whilst he was the manger of Infrastructure. He was always willing to assist and share is vast knowledge regardless of the pressure he was under at the time. A diligent colleague and one I heartily recommend.
I have worked with Chris Funderburg for over two years. Chris has unrivalled technical expertise and works diligently and tirelessly to resolve issues. He is a great technical resource. Chris should be one of your first recruits when building a technical team. He is dedicated to growing his technical knowledge and skills. He works hard to design and create the 'proper' solution. He enjoys leading and inspiring his team to evolve and deliver results.
Chris never lost sight of business requirements whilst ensuring his team were fully supported and au fait with their objectives and personal development goals. In summary Chris is a manager who can cope with whatever is thrown at him. I worked for Chris for just over a year. Chris is consistently efficient, well organized and very supportive. Overall a very good manager who always backed his staff 100%.
"Chris is a very analytical person, looking at problems and always eager to turn them into solutions. It was never the problem that Chris looked at, he always tried to resolve the root issue - and on numerous occasions attacked them head on. The best way to ensure that a problem didn’t resurrect itself was to tackle the root cause. I gladly recommend Chris to anyone."
