Summary
Chris Aquino is a Senior Software Engineer in Atlanta with 11 years of experience building user-facing and backend systems across Python, Node.js, GraphQL, TypeScript and React. He combines hands-on engineering at Mozilla and Thunderbird with product-driven feature work at Momentive.ai, and a strong background in curriculum design and engineering leadership from roles at DigitalCrafts and Big Nerd Ranch. Known as a tinkerer, teacher, and debugger, he mentors engineers through inquiry-driven leadership and has launched learning programs and custom tooling to scale education. Chris blends practical shipping experience with a penchant for clear analogies and note-taking, which he uses to make complex systems approachable. Outside work he’s an author and habitual experimenter—his Github persona whimsically notes daily “stupid cat tricks,” hinting at a playful curiosity that underpins his technical creativity.
