Kris Westfall
Principle Infrastructure Engineer
As a Principal Infrastructure Engineer at Advantage Technology, I oversee the architecture and stability of enterprise-grade server environments. I specialize in managing complex hybrid infrastructures, bridging the gap between physical hardware and virtualized ecosystems to maximize performance. Additionally, I serve as a senior technical escalation point for network infrastructure, resolving connectivity challenges to ensure the seamless integration of server and network layers.
Before coming to Advantage Technology, I worked on the HITS National Helpdesk providing IT support for the Federal Agency, HUD, which employs several thousand people nationwide and in U.S. territories.
In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, watching football, and listening to tech-related podcasts. I also enjoy spending time with my wife, our dog, and my 4 nephews.
