Chris Brown is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with 13 years of experience building data and media infrastructure for sports organizations, currently leading engineering at Infinite Athlete and Tempus Ex from Alpharetta, GA. He combines hands-on full‑stack engineering—React front-end work and backend APIs—with product-focused systems for ingesting, processing, and distributing sports data at scale. His open-source contributions span UI/UX improvements and Redux/backend integrations for Mattermost as well as backend work on the juniper GraphQL Rust library, showing comfort across languages and ecosystems. Previously he built backend systems for a pro football league and worked on P2P video distribution at BitTorrent, reflecting a track record of shipping resilient distributed systems. Collected experience across startups and engineering roles gives him a bias for shipping practical solutions and clear developer documentation. He’s obsessive about building things—often code, sometimes infrastructure—and enjoys turning messy real‑world sports data into reliable products.
