Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Montgomery is a Senior Architect with 12 years of experience designing and delivering large-scale web applications and SaaS products, now based in Minneapolis. He blends hands-on full-stack development with systems-level architecture, with deep expertise in Kotlin, TypeScript, Elasticsearch, AWS, and event-driven architectures. At Code42 he led the creation of a new product line—introducing serverless microservices, continuous delivery, and new languages—and holds a patent tied to that work. Previously he shaped consumer-facing infrastructure for Dow Jones and rebuilt portals and tooling across startups and enterprise teams, often driving adoption of modern practices like TDD and CI/CD. Known for moving between front-end UX concerns and back-end distributed systems, he favors pragmatic solutions that scale and are observable in production. Outside the obvious tech stack, he’s comfortable inventing developer tooling and automation (Groovy scripting, build pipelines) to accelerate teams.
