Chris Dunavan is a pragmatic, hands-on software engineer and co-founder with 11 years of focused experience building fast, reliable search and desktop-integrated apps. He helped scale Command E from first hire to acquisition, building Electron/React frontends, encrypted local caches, and cross-platform launchers, then continued that search expertise at Dropbox. Comfortable spanning full stack concerns—from Node.js backends and SQLcipher/SQLite to polished UIs—he prefers shipping polished, tested features quickly. His background includes large-scale systems and data center automation, giving him a rare combination of product-minded frontend work and deep operational experience. Currently heads-down at a stealth startup, he brings entrepreneurial grit and a repeatable “imagine, plan, code, ship” approach to turning ideas into production software. An understated strength is his habit of rotating through roles like release manager and ops lead, so he reliably fills gaps in small teams.
