Chris Powell is a seasoned Senior Software Engineer and architect with 17 years of experience building bespoke web and enterprise systems from startup plug-ins to NIH-funded research platforms. Based in Seattle, he founded Prylis Incorporated to deliver Ruby on Rails and SQL solutions for A-list clients (AT&T, Sprint, Baxter) and authored mission-critical workflows—finance, lease requests, purchase orders—and a CME portal that reached over 100K medical professionals. His work spans healthcare-grade systems including a HIPAA-compliant medical records and billing product now used in major hospitals, and a nationwide records scanning and barcode solution that cut paper shipping costs by over $250K annually. At the University of Washington he led development of HealthWeaver, an NIH-backed breast cancer research tool with mobile support that contributed to academic publications and national media coverage. An award-winning engineer (2005 CODiE) who blends entrepreneurial initiative with research collaborations, he brings deep domain experience in healthcare, DRM, and high-impact enterprise integrations.
