Summary
Christopher R is a Senior Software Engineer based in Melbourne with 12 years of hands-on experience across desktop and web applications, currently building systems at PaperCut Software. A true polyglot, he has delivered full-stack projects using React, Next.js, Nest.js, Node, Java Spring Boot and Kotlin, and has migrated legacy data into Kafka-powered pipelines. He brings a security-minded and accessibility-first approach—identifying and fixing issues that even formal pen-tests missed—while championing TDD, Agile practices and CI/CD improvements. At NAB and as a consultant he both shipped features and improved developer productivity by drastically reducing pipeline times and documenting tooling. Comfortable across cloud-native AWS services, containers and serverless, he combines deep troubleshooting skills with pragmatic engineering. Colleagues rely on him for solving subtle integration problems and lifting code quality in fast-moving teams.
