Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Barker is a seasoned Developer Partner with 14+ years building high-performance trading systems, cloud data platforms, and ML-enabled products across capital markets and startups. He blends deep domain expertise in equities, fixed income and FIX messaging with hands-on engineering across .NET, actor systems (akka.net), Kafka, AWS, and modern frontend stacks. Chris has led architecture and modernization efforts—moving legacy EMS platforms to microservices, Docker/Kubernetes, and scalable data lakes—while also shipping ML/vision and LLM-powered products like a 3D motion-capture evaluation system and an LLM-driven sales assistant. Equally comfortable as a developer, acting CTO, or consultant, he emphasizes lean development, systems thinking, and organizational learning to turn complex requirements into resilient, observable systems. Based in Philadelphia, he pairs pragmatic engineering with process and people leadership, and often bridges finance-grade reliability with startup-speed experimentation.
