Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Lamb is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with over two decades of full-stack experience and a proven track record modernizing legacy systems into maintainable, scalable platforms. He blends deep hands-on skills across C/C++, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, MongoDB/Postgres, and a broad set of AWS services with pragmatic architectural judgment to prevent technical debt and speed delivery. Chris has led teams to redesign APIs (Express → NestJS), migrate serverless systems, and implement robust CI/CD, observability, and deployment automation that measurably cut release times and improved reliability. He excels at raising developer experience—introducing code hygiene, automated dependency management, and migration strategies—while mentoring junior engineers into productive contributors. Based in Victoria, BC, he thrives in compliance- and e-commerce-focused environments where security, integrations, and performance matter, and he has a rare habit of embedding migrations and operational improvements directly into serverless workflows so production stays healthy as features evolve.
