Chris Thierer

Website LinkedIn Résumé

I’m a software engineering leader with 15 years of experience building web services, internal platforms, and live-service systems across public-sector technology and video games.

I’ve worked as an engineer, technical lead, and engineering manager while staying close to the technical work. I’m particularly interested in complex systems that need clearer architecture, more reliable delivery, and better tools for the people who build and operate them.

What I work on

  • Web services and platform systems
  • Internal tools and administrative applications
  • Engineering leadership, mentoring, and team development
  • Technical architecture and cross-team delivery
  • Reliability, operational readiness, and performance testing

My primary tools are Go, Node.js, TypeScript, and React, supported by experience with AWS, distributed services, accessibility, observability, and production operations.

Current focus

I’m based in the Baltimore–Washington, DC area and am interested in software engineering management roles involving platforms, developer tools, web services, creative technology, education, science, or community-focused products.

I’m also open to senior individual contributor roles with meaningful technical ownership.
