Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Uzelac is an experienced systems and software engineer with 14–15 years building reliable, large-scale Internet services, having been an early senior platform engineer at Square where he helped transition from a monolithic stack to a mature microservices and cloud ecosystem. He combines deep operational expertise (MySQL, Hadoop/Hive, Kafka, GCP/AWS) with product-minded infrastructure work—security policy, data pipelines, high-throughput replication, and automated provisioning—that kept critical services stable at scale. A seasoned hiring lead, he led recruiting and candidate moderation for years, growing teams to 80+ engineers and often advising other teams on non-traditional hires. After a decade in high-growth tech, he now applies his organizational and earned-income strategy skills as Board President of Lamplighters Music Theatre, helping nonprofits professionalize governance and fundraising. Unusually, his technical background is paired with formal training in theatre, which informs his collaborative leadership and clear communication across engineering and nonprofit stakeholders. Based in California, he brings a pragmatic blend of SRE, platform, and governance experience to mission-driven organizations.
