Top SchoolChristopher Colosi is a seasoned engineering leader and entrepreneur with 11+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, marketplaces, and virtual-economy platforms. He has led teams as a Staff Engineer and Engineering Lead at HomeVision and scaled engineering and product orgs at States Title, driving integrations and revenue-generating platforms. Earlier in his career he shaped virtual economies at Linden Lab—acting as the de facto "central bank" for Second Life—and founded Gloebit, a widely used commerce service for OpenSim that implemented ACID, idempotent distributed transactions. Christopher combines deep systems intuition with product and business strategy, routinely finding subtle system-level root causes others miss and translating those insights into simple, durable solutions.

Based in San Francisco with a BA in Computer Science from Harvard, he blends hands-on engineering, product leadership, and economics-informed decision making.
