Christopher Olson

I am a senior software engineer focused on building secure, highly available cloud-native payment and trading systems. I led design and global launch of AWS Payment Cryptography, achieving PCI certification and 99.99% availability while reducing infrastructure costs by 70%.

I build autonomous agent systems and automation platforms that reduce manual overhead and maintain governance — deploying agents that process 10K+ monthly tasks at 95% accuracy. I design multi-agent orchestration, metadata storage with sub-10ms latency, and robust audit logging to meet strict compliance requirements.

My backend and modernization experience includes polyglot microservices (Python, Go, Node.js), REST/GraphQL APIs for payment processing, and event-driven disaster recovery across regions. Previously I engineered ultra-low-latency trading platforms and owned payment systems processing billions daily with zero transaction errors.

I prioritize observability, security, and developer experience — implementing Terraform/CloudFormation, Prometheus/Grafana, and customer-facing dashboards built with React/Next.js to improve integration speed and operational resilience.
