Colin Chartier is an engineering architect and founder with a decade of experience building developer-focused products and teams, now focusing on product and architecture at Harness. He co-founded and led YC-backed webapp.io as CEO/CTO—delivering full-stack preview environments and end-to-end test tooling prior to its acquisition—and continues that work on memory snapshotting, test intelligence, and CI/CD UX. Previously CTO at ParseHub, he has hands-on experience scaling no-code scraping infrastructure and managing small, productive engineering teams. Trained in pure mathematics, statistics, and computer science at the University of Toronto and seasoned by YC, he blends rigorous analytical thinking with pragmatic product instincts. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable shipping code, shaping architecture, and translating developer workflows into delightful, measurable experiences.
