Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Smith is a seasoned technology leader and hands-on engineer with 12+ years driving architecture, product design and hardware-software integration as a CTO in the UK. He has led large public-sector digital transformations—designing Companies House’s acclaimed open-data engagement platform—and taken consumer hardware products from concept to production, including the ZX Spectrum Vega. Comfortable from low-level electronics and tooling through distributed transactional systems to modern web APIs, he blends practical engineering with strategic technical vision. Based in Greater Cardiff, he pairs academic grounding in electronic engineering and microelectronics with deep experience in resilient, service-based architectures and manufacturing partnership management. An engineer who still designs hardware and software, he’s as likely to sketch circuit boards as to define API strategy.
