Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Blume is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance C++ systems across consumer streaming, browser graphics, and satellite test equipment. He has driven measurable product turnarounds—leading Twitch for Android from declining ratings to a top-ranked app and contributing to Twitch’s growth prior to Amazon acquisition—while later improving Chrome performance and graphics at Google. His background spans embedded signal processing, cross-platform libraries, and test automation for web platform image handling, reflecting a pragmatic balance of low-level optimization and clean, testable design. A lifelong tinkerer who once reported two Visual C++ bugs, he pairs a deep curiosity for how things work with an eye for elegant solutions; outside code he pursues hang gliding and rock climbing, pursuits that mirror his focus on making difficult things appear simple.
