Software Engineer at Meta
Greater Seattle Area United States
Summary
👤
SeniorChristopher Elwell is a pragmatic full‑stack software engineer with 12+ years building web and mobile products and 14+ years of hands‑on experience across startups and hyperscale tech companies. He’s shipped identity and verification features at Google that cut manual review time by ~30%, helped integrate mobile IDs into Google Wallet, and most recently builds at Meta after a stint at AWS. Comfortable leading small teams and founding/CTO roles, he’s repeatedly translated complex requirements into simple, maintainable systems from UX through database design. His toolset spans Clojure(Script), JavaScript/React(Native), front- and back-end systems, and even blockchain smart contracts from past ventures. Based in the Greater Seattle area, he favors clarity over cleverness and aims to minimize system complexity while maximizing product impact. An often‑understated strength is his history of shipping full product stacks—from browser extensions and mobile apps to secure, compliant healthcare and token-sale platforms—bridging engineering and product execution.
