Fargo, North Dakota, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Shellenbarger is a technical founder and software engineer with over 15 years of production experience and two decades of hands-on engineering across startups and enterprise systems. He bootstrapped CloudRepo, designing the architecture and GTM that now serves millions of package requests daily, and later co-founded CtrlStack where he led early engineering, hiring, and a customer-driven pivot to QueryPal. A former Principal Software Engineer on Yammer’s JVM-based distributed services at Microsoft, he comfortably spans the full stack from core infrastructure to product and go-to-market execution. Chris combines deep technical craftsmanship with candid lessons learned from startup failure—turning what didn’t work into pragmatic research, recruitment, and developer-relations strategies. Based in Fargo, ND, he’s transitioning from primary engineering to scaling teams, sales, and community-facing roles while continuing to iterate on SaaS tooling for developer workflows.
