Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Roberts is a Senior Backend Software Developer based in Houston with 14 years building resilient, production-grade systems—currently advancing FlightAware’s backend after progressing through multiple engineering roles there. He brings deep systems and low-level experience from earlier work at Qualcomm, where he built Python tooling, visualizers for very large datasets, and explored ARMv8 virtualization and microbenchmarking. Comfortable debugging the toughest failures ("likes code even when it doesn't work quite right"), he blends curiosity-driven investigation with pragmatic engineering to improve observability and performance. A double major in Computer Engineering and Computer Science from UT Austin, he pairs academic rigor with hands-on skill in Python, backend architecture, and tooling that supports large-scale telemetry systems.
