Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Gordon is a pragmatic, technology-agnostic Head of Software Engineering with 14+ years designing and delivering cloud-native enterprise systems across higher education, mining, commercial buildings, and IoT. He combines hands-on expertise in C++, PHP, and web technologies with deep database and cloud architecture experience (MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, NoSQL, AWS, Azure) to build highly available, scalable solutions from first principles. As an early employee and technical lead at multiple startups he has taken products from prototype to production, owning release management, disaster recovery, and customer-facing support. He is equally comfortable recruiting and mentoring teams as he is stepping into the codebase to implement middleware or front-end improvements—his open-source work includes UX enhancements to the widely used noVNC web client. Known for translating complex business requirements into practical architectures, he also brings a designer’s sensibility from dual degrees in creative industries and web development. Based in Adelaide, he thrives on solving tricky systems problems while coaching engineers to grow into product-minded technologists.
