Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Ballance is a hands-on software engineering manager and former Staff Engineer with two decades of experience building and scaling mission-critical systems across public safety, healthcare, finance, and SaaS. Comfortable in both Fortune 100 environments and seed-stage startups, he combines enterprise-grade discipline with startup agility to architect secure, reliable platforms using Python, Java, .NET, AWS, CQRS, microservices, and DDD. He has repeatedly built engineering organizations from the ground up—most notably growing PetScreening’s team from the first hire to 60+ engineers while driving a 200% revenue increase and multi-million dollar annual savings through a full re-platform. At Mark43 he led real-time dispatch, GPS tracking, and geospatial systems for law enforcement, and earlier stints at Microsoft and Volvo solidified his expertise in large-scale, secure architecture. A CISSP-certified servant leader, Chris is equally invested in people and process, often turning operational challenges into measurable reliability gains (one re-platform improved reliability by over 300%). Based in Matthews, NC, he also brings perspectives from real estate investing and board-level strategy, reflecting a pragmatic, product-focused approach to technical leadership.
