Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Watrous is a software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently building systems at IBM from his base in Austin, Texas. Trained as an electrical and electronics engineer, he pairs hardware-aware thinking with practical software craftsmanship developed during co-op roles at AMD and Analog Devices where he automated release pipelines, modeled Jira workflows, and fixed subtle evaluation bugs. He writes robust, well-tested automation—his AMD project included ~90% unit test coverage and a system test that reduced manual release effort by about an engineer-hour per release. Comfortable across Python, C#, and tooling integrations, he favors owning projects end-to-end and delivering measurable efficiency gains. An early background in jazz performance suggests a creative, disciplined approach to problem solving and collaboration.
