Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Baker is an Engineering Manager with 13 years of experience leading full-stack teams and technical operations, currently overseeing software delivery for state-level clients including the Michigan Department of Agriculture. He combines hands-on development (Angular, .NET Core, SQL, Docker) with architecture, CI/CD, and infrastructure oversight, having progressed from developer to manager within the same consultancy. Chris has a track record of building complex, domain-specific systems—inspection, licensing, GIS integrations, and media-management platforms—and bridges client-facing planning with day-to-day deployment and code review. He brings startup and embedded-systems experience too, having designed hardware-integrated products and early intranet platforms, which gives him practical judgment on trade-offs between product, ops, and engineering. Based in Olivet, MI, he is as comfortable diving into code as he is normalizing architecture across multiple project teams.
