Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Campbell is a seasoned software engineer with over 20 years of experience, currently focused on climate-positive projects as a software engineer at Climate Interactive and principal at Plausible Labs Cooperative. He combines deep systems and graphics expertise (from work on JavaFX and Java 2D) with modern functional programming and Rust systems work, and has shipped production mobile, desktop, and backend systems for companies like comiXology, HockeyApp, and Upthere. Chris is particularly strong in API and library design, reactive dataflow (author of PLRelational), and building the tooling and CI pipelines that make complex projects reliable and testable. He regularly serves as tech lead and mentor, translating high-level architecture into pragmatic implementations across languages including Rust, Swift, Scala, and TypeScript. Less obvious: he’s maintained widely used open-source infrastructure (e.g., stewardship of PLCrashReporter) and blends low-level graphics/ML-adjacent work with pragmatic product-focused engineering. Based in San Francisco, he brings cooperative leadership experience from running a worker-owned consultancy alongside deep technical craftsmanship.
