Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Lloyd is an empathetic engineering manager with 11 years in software and eight years leading teams, currently shaping platform and product delivery at Reddit from London. He has a strong track record building web-first experiences and engineering practices—founding Freetrade’s web engineering team and driving Next.js/TypeScript/GraphQL stacks and CI/CD pipelines where they hadn’t existed before. Christopher blends hands-on front-end and full-stack experience (from Ticketmaster and TravelShark to Skyscanner) with stakeholder-facing skills that translate product goals into reliable, scalable web systems. Colleagues know him for shipping fast iteration cycles without sacrificing testability or operational rigor, and for mentoring engineers through growth and process adoption. An unusual detail: he started academically in biology, bringing a methodical, experimental mindset to engineering leadership and product experimentation.
