Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Kincanon is a founder and CTO with over a decade of hands-on engineering leadership and two decades of industry experience transforming teams and products from startups to enterprise scale. He excels at aligning technology strategy with business goals, designing scalable architecture and roadmaps, and optimizing cloud-native stacks for cost and performance—most recently building a cloud-agnostic artifact management system at Unity. Chris has repeatedly led HIPAA- and compliance-sensitive initiatives in healthcare and finance, and he brings a practical blend of hiring, mentorship, and process engineering to create high-performing teams. Based in Bothell, WA, he operates as a fractional CTO for early-stage companies, pairing tactical delivery skills (Go, Ruby, Node, Kubernetes) with strategic planning to accelerate growth. Less obvious: he often transitions work from offshore to local remote teams to boost collaboration and quality while reducing operational friction.
