Top SchoolChristopher Mclean is an experienced engineering leader and investor who has repeatedly built and scaled security, privacy, and data/ML organizations from small founding teams into 50+ engineer organizations at companies including LinkedIn, Stripe, and Merge. He combines deep hands-on technical chops (TypeScript, Ruby, Node, React, high-performance C++/Java systems) with product-minded operational improvements that cut costs and toil—examples include reducing unit costs 10x and cutting KTLO work by half. At LinkedIn and Stripe he designed platforms handling 100M+ QPS and led rapid anti-scraping and authentication efforts with measurable impact. Now based in Greater Boston, he’s advising and angel-investing across fintech, security, health-tech and data infrastructure while managing a personal, large-scale home renovation as general contractor. Open to selective engineering leadership roles in the Boston area, he brings a rare mix of large-scale systems experience, security/privacy stewardship, and practical execution across technical and operational domains.
