Summary
🤩
RockstarChris Smith is a seasoned engineering and product leader with 15 years of experience building and scaling enterprise and consumer platforms, now serving as Co-Founder & CEO in Seattle. He has led engineering and product teams at Meta and Amazon, architecting release and hiring orchestration systems that improved velocity and global deploy confidence, and previously founded and exited a ticketing startup after driving product, patents, and Series A growth. A hands-on builder who still contributes to front-end open-source projects like webrcade, Chris blends strategic vision with implementation chops—migrating large platforms to cloud-native architectures that supported hundreds of millions in sales. Known for empathetic leadership, he consistently delivers measurable business impact: faster time-to-hire, cost reductions, throughput gains, and stronger security posture. Outside work he’s a retro-tech tinkerer and pinball-loving father of two, a detail that reflects his appetite for playful engineering and practical problem solving.
