Chris Antes is a senior software engineer based in Portland with 12 years of experience building full-stack web and backend systems across startups and mid-size teams. He’s delivered production-grade features for healthcare and publishing platforms—owning provider and patient apps, GraphQL/REST APIs, data migrations from Mongo to Postgres, and performance improvements that cut page loads in half. A pragmatic advocate for developer experience, he led a TypeScript adoption, introduced graphql-codegen, and championed testing, CI/CD, and clean code to reduce defects and improve maintainability. Comfortable mentoring juniors and shaping team practices, he pairs hands-on implementation with process improvements and DevOps familiarity (Aptible, Render, CircleCI, Expo). Colleagues know him for creating sustainable, collaborative engineering cultures and for the atypical mix of podcasting/audio engineering alongside deep backend work.
