Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Potter is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable backend systems and migrating monoliths to microservices across ecommerce and SaaS domains. He has delivered production Go gRPC APIs, integrated event-driven architectures with Kafka, Pub/Sub and Temporal, and supported AWS provisioning for enterprise customers. Chris has deep PHP/Magento roots from early career work and moved into streaming, CQRS and distributed platforms using Clojure and Node.js, giving him a rare full-stack backend perspective. At Mailchimp and Nuon he connected commerce, billing and legacy systems at scale, and now drives engineering at Evidencity. He pairs a technical mastership with a creative foundation—holding an M.S. in Visualization Sciences and a BFA in Film/Video/Animation—which informs pragmatic, user-focused system design. Colleagues describe him as a hands-on engineer who comfortably spans legacy integrations and modern event-driven architectures.
