Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Fuhrman is an experienced I.T. specialist and backend engineer with 15 years of hands-on expertise in systems, databases, and application development, currently modernizing transmission scheduling systems at Bonneville Power Administration. He blends deep ops skills—Linux/Unix administration, Puppet/Ansible automation, LDAP/Kerberos integration—with pragmatic software engineering in C#, Java, PHP, Python, and SQL to optimize performance and reliability. At Shipwire he led performance and migration efforts, cut database load with Redis caching, and built APIs that materially expanded product volume, while also codifying knowledge for faster onboarding. His background includes large-scale Linux fleet management, repository migrations, and production troubleshooting, showing a pattern of turning legacy systems into more testable, maintainable platforms. Based in Portland, he pairs systems-level rigor with application design, often surfacing non-obvious optimizations (query tuning, caching strategies, and deployment automation) that yield measurable operational gains.
