Chris Dotson is a mid-career software engineer in Denver with a decade of engineering experience and three years focused on software, currently building Python/C++ frameworks for research-grade computer vision and 3D video reconstruction at Meta/Facebook Reality Labs. He blends systems-level rigor from aerospace R&D and mechanical design with startup agility from CRM work, frequently shipping features, troubleshooting device calibration, and driving near-daily deployments. Comfortable across the stack—Python, C++, Ruby, SQL, Linux—he’s been the primary owner of complex pipelines, led team meetings, and produced materials for company-wide conferences. Chris’s background in high-security aerospace projects and prior investment analysis gives him a rare mix of disciplined systems thinking, data-driven decision making, and customer-facing product experience.
