Chris Gladd is a software architect and engineering leader based in Philadelphia with 12 years of experience building web and mobile products from prototype to production. He currently shapes architecture at Fieldwire by Hilti after progressing through engineering manager and senior manager roles, and previously led front-end and engineering teams at WeConvene. Chris combines deep hands-on experience in HTML5/CSS3, Java, C#, and embedded systems with managerial instincts for delivery and team growth. His early work includes innovative mobile and web apps (Kindle, Android, iOS) and experiments in realtime systems using XMPP, WebSockets, and offline-first browser storage. He holds a Computer Science degree from Penn State and pursued machine learning studies at UIUC, bringing both practical product sense and curiosity about ML applications. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic architect who still enjoys rolling up his sleeves to prototype novel UI and connectivity solutions.
