Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Channing is a Distinguished Software Engineer with 20+ years of hands-on experience building distributed systems, cloud-native platforms, and data-intensive applications across enterprises like Collibra, Cloudera and IBM. He combines deep systems-level skills in Java, C++, Go and Python with practical expertise in Kubernetes, big data (Hadoop/CDH) and master data management to architect scalable, production-ready platforms. At Collibra he originated frameworks and edge-compute approaches that led to a patent filing, and at Kurrent he led the design of a multi-modal Kubernetes control plane and co-authored its operator. Known as a pragmatic technical leader, he repeatedly moves between strategy and implementation—founding principal engineering committees and shipping core platform components himself. Based in the UK, he blends curiosity-driven research into new technologies with a consistent record of mentoring teams and delivering measurable business impact.
