Summary
Chris Allwein is a Systems Architect and senior software engineer with over 20 years of experience designing backend services, databases, and mobile and web applications across diverse tech stacks.

He’s especially strong at debugging, performance tuning, and rescuing troubled projects, having refactored legacy systems and dramatically reduced data conversion times in past roles. As founder of a consultancy for early-stage startups, he pairs strategic product thinking with practical mobile and cloud implementations. Comfortable both leading and supporting teams, he consistently turns complex requirements into clear plans, estimates, and working software.
