Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Arnold is a Senior Software Engineer with over 18 years of hands-on experience building high-performance, production-critical systems across C/C++, Python, Perl, Linux, and AWS. He has led teams and projects—from multi-threaded market data and MTA feed processors handling billions of messages per day to cloud-integrated services—because he combines deep debugging instincts with practical design and clear cross-team communication. Equally fluent in coding and operations, he has repeatedly been tapped as a technical lead for complex incidents and architecture work. Chris is passionate about improving codebases through testing, documentation, and mentorship, and he tinkers with game development in C#, C++, Python, and Java outside of work, bringing a playful curiosity to serious engineering problems.
