Summary
Chris Brown is a Senior Engineering Manager based in Austin with 12 years of experience leading teams to design and ship secure, usable web and mobile applications using modern stacks like React, Node.js, and Mongo. He blends hands-on engineering, security testing (both static architecture reviews and white-hat dynamic testing), and people leadership—hiring and developing teams through hypergrowth at companies like Hinge Health, Vrbo, and now Procore. Comfortable as a player-coach, he has rebuilt interview grading to improve equity, contributed IC work when needed (including a React Native surgery alpha), and helped replatform critical care-delivery systems. He’s equally at home finding vulnerabilities in production apps as he is mentoring developers and creating training programs that raise organizational security and delivery maturity. An eclectic technologist with a background spanning Java, .NET, Ruby, and Python, he brings pragmatic engineering judgment and a focus on measurable team growth.
