Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKris Bosland is a Principal/Senior backend engineer with nearly two decades of C#/.NET experience building high-reliability systems where uptime and correctness are mission-critical. He has deep domain experience in semiconductor manufacturing at Intel, infrastructure automation at Puppet (including contributions to puppet and puppet-docs), and identity, authorization, and backend platform leadership for defense-grade products at Curtiss-Wright and PacStar. Kris built a file distribution system with forensic recording that prevented irreversible manufacturing losses and architected an enterprise identity platform using Keycloak, LDAP federation, and custom OIDC flows from scratch. He’s a pragmatic engineering leader who doubled team productivity by instilling TDD and acceptance testing, and he routinely designs lightweight APIs and tooling to enable parallel development across teams. Best fit roles leverage his C#/.NET, Keycloak/OIDC, and reliability-first mindset for systems where failures have real-world consequences. Based in Estacada, OR, he’s now seeking Senior or Principal backend roles where he can own technical decisions and build enduring, auditable platforms.
