Chris Ingrassia is a Staff Software Engineer with 14 years of broad experience building large-scale data and engineering organizations, currently driving systems at Rialtic from Jersey City. He specializes in Big Data platforms—Hadoop, HBase, Impala, and Spark—and has a track record of architecting 200+ node clusters and data pipelines that process tens of billions of events. Chris has served in senior technical and executive roles (CTO, Director, Distinguished Engineer), founding and scaling data engineering teams in startup and ad-tech environments while blending hands-on coding in Java/Scala/Ruby and low-level systems work in C/C++. He pairs deep technical breadth (geospatial systems, mobile, QA/TDD, CI, Linux ops) with product-driven leadership that reduces costs and accelerates delivery. Notably, he has moved companies from outsourced to internal engineering teams and leverages real‑time, event-driven architectures in finance and advertising contexts. Practical, curious, and delivery-focused, he thrives on making systems bigger and faster than most expect.
