Chris Shaw

I am a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience building scalable backend services and cloud-native infrastructure for high-traffic SaaS products. I have led development and architecture efforts using Java (Spring Boot), Python (Flask/FastAPI), and modern cloud tooling to deliver reliable, secure platform capabilities for enterprise customers.

At Atlassian and Netlify I designed and implemented microservices, real-time notification systems, developer-facing APIs, and polished React frontends, improving performance, observability, and deployment reliability. I drove initiatives across licensing, billing, and regulated-sector compliance while mentoring engineers and participating in cross-product design reviews.

I am passionate about system design, automation, and observability, and I bring strong technical leadership, collaboration, and a metrics-driven approach to shipping robust features and improving platform resilience.
