Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Council is a hands-on technical leader and serial founder with 11+ years of experience building scalable systems across advertising, analytics, devops, fintech, education, e-commerce, bioinformatics, and games. As Founder/CTO of Sky High Games and Soboko Systems and former CTO roles at startups like Portobel and Healthcare Staffing Hire, he blends product vision with deep engineering execution across full stacks and cloud-native infrastructure. He has driven high-impact projects at Meta and Airbnb—including a $50M+ revenue lift and IPO-critical analytics tooling—and scaled engineering teams through rapid growth and difficult transitions. Early competitive success in national programming contests led him from MIT into a career characterized by system-level thinking, ruthless operational rigor, and pragmatic architecture choices. Outside of code he’s an adventurous problem-solver (state champion mountain biker, ski racer, once swam with sharks) who brings levity and calm to crises. He’s comfortable toggling between individual contributor work and leadership, shipping reproducible systems and developer workflows that accelerate teams.
