Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Blaha is a multidisciplinary technologist and musician with a decade of experience blending software development, QA engineering, and music instruction. He holds a BS in Computer Science from UNCA and has contributed to open-source networking tooling like Netmaker, improving backend observability for WireGuard-based virtual networks. At Netmaker he automated test environments and release processes via Terraform and GitHub workflows, and more recently he develops software at MEDITECH while running his own web development practice that integrates CRM and Firebase systems. A classically trained violist turned guitarist, he brings stagecraft, recording, and instrument repair skills to his creative and technical work, which informs his user-centered approach to product and UX. Based in Canton, Massachusetts, he combines hands-on engineering with teaching at The Guitar Center Company, making him equally comfortable debugging CI pipelines or coaching a student through advanced jazz theory.
