Chris Hawkins is a Staff Software Engineer based in Jacksonville, Florida with 13 years of experience building production software across security and web-focused industries. At Tenable since 2014, he progressed from Senior to Staff Engineer, contributing to large-scale, security-oriented products that require reliability and systems thinking. His background spans backend-heavy web development (PHP, .NET), JavaScript front-ends, Linux server ops, and embedded/video systems work—skills rooted in dual degrees in Physics and Computer Science and a Master’s in Computer Engineering from the University of Florida. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and a technical leader, he brings hands-on experience deploying and maintaining complex services as well as mentoring peers.
