Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Giroir is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 18 years of experience building large-scale data and web platforms, currently contributing to Fivetran after leading metric infrastructure and a full rewrite of Airbnb’s Minerva analytics platform. He combines deep systems and backend expertise—OLAP migrations (Druid to StarRocks), authentication systems, and game-service infrastructure—with hands-on leadership as a former engineering manager and tech lead. His career spans high-performance consumer and game companies (Airbnb, Blizzard, Improbable) and music/education tech, reflecting an ability to translate diverse product needs into reliable production systems. A Massachusetts Amherst MS/BS in Computer Science grounds his work in strong academic fundamentals. Outside of work he writes music and plays board games, a creative counterbalance that surfaces in pragmatic, user-aware engineering decisions.
