Summary
Christopher Robison is a seasoned technology leader and CTO based in San Francisco with 11 years of focused experience modernizing operations and scaling platforms across transport, advertising, and SaaS businesses. At D Harris Tours he led a data-driven transformation—implementing real-time bus telemetry, automated maintenance and notifications, and a route-optimization algorithm that increased daily revenue by 30% while scaling the fleet sixfold. His background spans building high-throughput ad-serving infrastructure and mobile rich-media SDKs at Conversant, to architecting SaaS migrations and real-time collaborative web apps at MindJet. Comfortable from systems and DBAs to client-side JavaScript and APIs, he combines pragmatic engineering with product-minded automation to cut costs and improve reliability. Known for a hands-on, slightly self-deprecating engineering style (“I build stuff that works, most of the time”), he pairs technical breadth with operational discipline. He consistently turns messy legacy stacks into maintainable, measurable systems that support business growth.
