Top SchoolChris Bautista is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience currently building at Netflix from Los Angeles, combining front-end craftsmanship with full-stack middleware work. He has led engineering teams at Hulu and GOAT Group and shaped UX-focused internal tooling at Capital One, demonstrating both people leadership and hands-on delivery. An active open-source contributor, Chris has improved popular projects like tRPC (adding landing-page components, docs, tests, and middleware) and contributed polished UI work to the TypeHero TypeScript community. He blends a strong UI/UX background—bolstered by a General Assembly UX certification—with deep backend experience dating back to IBM and early RPG/AS/400 systems, which gives him a rare multi-decade perspective on pragmatic system design. Not seeking opportunities right now, he still mentors developers and emphasizes code quality by removing debug cruft and improving developer-facing docs and examples.
