Summary
Christopher Pabst is a seasoned software engineer with over 20 years in the computer industry and deep Java expertise, having architected and led development of high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems that processed ~80 billion daily RTB transactions. He blends hands-on coding, system and data modeling, and operations experience—covering system administration, DBAs, and application support—so he can shepherd features from design through production and monitoring. Christopher has repeatedly stepped into technical lead and team lead roles, driving migrations to modern stacks (Spring, CXF, Kafka, AWS) and adding observability via statsd/DropWizard. Comfortable across languages and platforms (Linux, Solaris, Windows) and familiar with Agile/Scrum and PCI/IAB compliance, he’s the kind of self-starting engineer who becomes productive on new technologies quickly and delivers with little oversight. An understated strength is his longevity across both startup and large-enterprise environments, showing an ability to scale practices and mentorship as teams evolve.
