Summary
Christian Dalton is a technical team lead and staff-level software engineer with nine years of experience building full-stack systems and data pipelines, currently leading engineering at Intelligems after joining as employee #2. He blends hands-on backend work (Python, SQL, Azure) with front-end and UX-focused features (React, chunked large-file uploads) and has a track record of turning field requirements into production-ready tools for remote and offline contexts. Prior roles at Legacy Directional Drilling span drilling engineering and well planning through to developer responsibilities, giving him a rare mix of domain expertise in oil & gas and applied software craftsmanship. He holds an MS in Computer Science and a BS in Petroleum Engineering, and is known for shipping pragmatic automation—like automated ETL for messy field files—that reduces operational friction. Based in Denver, he combines startup adaptability with industrial rigor and a history of building businesses and tools end-to-end, from founding a repair shop to co-running an online collectibles store.
