Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris King is a Berlin-based CTO and co-founder with nine years of professional experience building concurrent, scalable backend systems across startups and industry teams. He combines a first-class B.Eng in Software Engineering with hands-on expertise from roles at GRID esports, eBay Kleinanzeigen, Betgenius, and Plunet, focusing on pragmatic, test-driven development and performance under load. Comfortable across stacks (C#, Java, SQL/NoSQL, messaging systems) he thrives on designing stable architectures and diagnosing production issues alongside DevOps and DBAs. A believer in Agile and high-performing teams, he prioritizes clean, elegant code that solves real problems rather than clever complexity. Beyond engineering, he brings founder instincts—having launched multiple ventures—which inform his product-minded approach to technical tradeoffs.
