Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Galvan is a senior software development engineer with 11+ years building cross-platform systems in C++, C, Java, Python and Qt, currently driving engine and backend stability at Amazon. He brings deep experience in real-time communications and embedded VoIP stacks (SIP/RTP) as well as desktop and Electron-based applications, enabling pragmatic solutions across languages and platforms. At Amazon he evolved from Lumberyard to contributing to the Open 3D Engine (O3DE), resolving engine crashes, build issues and serialization/prefab behaviors for a high-profile open-source 3D engine. Comfortable in Linux environments and with database and scripting tooling, he’s equally at home debugging low-level engine internals as designing service-oriented architectures. Based in Round Rock, Texas, he pairs systems-level rigor with a knack for untangling complex cross-language build and deployment problems that often lie behind production outages.
