Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristopher R is a Senior Support Engineer at GitHub with five years of engineering experience and a background in software architecture and open-source contribution. Based in Rochester, NY, he pairs hands-on back-end work—most notably patching and maintaining packages in the high-profile MacPorts ports tree—with customer-facing support at one of the world's largest developer platforms. His resume blends strong technical chops (build fixes, cross-macOS compatibility, and package integration) with creative production skills from years as an editor, voice actor, and podcast producer. That unusual mix gives him both the empathy to help users and the system-level perspective to diagnose complex build and dependency issues.
