Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Brown is a Senior Engineer with 12 years of professional experience and deep expertise in cross-platform mathematical optimization, having spent the last eight years on the C-based Xpress solver and several years leading web-based IDE and analytics products. He blends systems-level C development (APIs, compression, I/O redesign) with full-stack Java/JavaScript web engineering, having architected and led the Xpress Workbench and Insight projects from design through deployment. At FICO he owns the Python API and multi-objective optimization interfaces, and he’s applied agile best practices, TDD and rigorous code review to improve robustness and usability. Comfortable moving between low-level performance work and higher-level product architecture, he also explores machine learning applications within solvers—bringing a curiosity for unconventional technical solutions. Based in Coventry, he pairs a BSc in Computer Science with a track record of shipping production-grade, cross-platform tools used in demanding optimization workflows.
