About Christopher Walker

I am a confident, enthusiastic Technical Leader who has managed teams ranging from 4-120 people. I have experience with a breadth of technologies and have worked with teams from the size of a start up to working on enterprise integration projects. When it comes to industries I have experience in regulated markets including betting and gambling, payments and also advertising. I also have a lot of experience in getting products live, keeping them running when they are out there and improving them. I’ve done a lot of work around application and system stability and have experiences working with 3rd parties when doing this. I love working with teams to build amazing products in modern, scalable, elastic, forward thinking ways.
