About Brian Christner
Bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI agents and secure, production-ready deployments.
I originally hail from the valley of the sun Phoenix, Arizona but now reside in beautiful Switzerland. I spent a large portion of my career in the casino industry and traveled the world as a casinos systems computer engineer. I was fortunate enough to open several Las Vegas casino properties, helped open up the Macau and Singapore markets, and casinos all over Europe and the US.
During a hiatus from the casino industry, I began diving deep into the tech world. I discovered Docker pre-release, joined the community, started contributing, and became a passionate advocate for Docker. Later, I was nominated and completely honored to be accepted to the first batch of Docker Captains. Being part of the Docker Captains program enabled me to be where I am today and it's so important that I reciprocate my knowledge and skills back to the Open Source community.
"I'm an enabler and enabling others makes the world a better place." - Brian Christner
My passion has now deeply focused on Autonomous AI Agents, particularly with OpenClaw. I advocate for Open Source standards, cloud, containers, and the secure, efficient deployment of AI agents. When I'm not busy building and securing AI workflows, I can be found riding my mountain bike or skiing in the Swiss Alps.
