Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Stewart is a software engineer and founder with 11 years of experience building web applications and pioneering Bitcoin tooling, including work on the Lightning Network and Discreet Log Contracts through his company SuredBits. Based in Ankeny, Iowa, he blends practical systems analysis from early roles at State Farm and web development at the University of Iowa with entrepreneurial instincts honed by SEO-driven product sites. He excels at taking cryptographic and distributed systems concepts from prototype to production, and he has hands-on history refactoring large .NET codebases and proving Spring-based concepts. Curious about disruptive tech, he actively follows Bitcoin, GLP-1 therapeutics, and autonomous vehicles—signals of interdisciplinary thinking beyond pure software. That mix of startup founder grit, enterprise systems experience, and deep interest in emerging tech makes him a pragmatic builder for ambitious, technically complex projects.
