Chris Howard is a VP of Engineering with 11 years of experience building real-time, highly scalable cloud systems, currently leading LoopUp’s engineering organization from London. He has progressed through hands-on roles at LoopUp—from software engineer to principal and now VP—architecting event-driven .NET Core microservices and modern React admin experiences for cloud telephony. A founder-turned-executive, he co-founded EdExchange as CTO, showing an appetite for product-led solutions that deliver measurable user and social impact. An advocate of Agile, continuous deployment and "people over process," he blends practical engineering with leadership that prioritises team autonomy and fast iteration. Rare among execs, he still contributes to core architecture and shipping code, keeping his skills current with front-end and mobile real-time systems.
