Top SchoolChristopher Roberts is a Senior Backend Software Developer with 13 years of experience based in Houston, Texas, currently building robust backend systems at FlightAware.

At FlightAware he advanced from Backend Developer to Senior Backend Software Developer, contributing to real-time, data-driven flight tracking services. His early work spans mobile UI improvements and tools for visualizing very large datasets, and he holds a double B.S. in Computer Engineering and Computer Science from UT Austin. He enjoys chasing the subtle, hard-to-reproduce failures others avoid and prefers pragmatic, hands-on solutions when systems misbehave.
