Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Clouten is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building scalable backend systems and streaming data architectures across startups and large enterprises in New York. He specializes in Scala and Python, designing real-time rate limiting and anomaly detection services at Disney Streaming while leveraging Spark, Flink, and a broad AWS toolset. Previously he led data and backend efforts at Harry's, where he built twelve‑factor microservices, CI/CD practices, and internal ETL tooling that fed a production S3/Redshift data lake. A self-taught programmer who transitioned from business roles into engineering, he combines product-minded thinking with deep operational expertise in containerization, observability, and distributed processing. Outside of work he’s an accomplished cook and avid collector of wine and records, a hint at the same attention to craft he brings to software. He prefers Scala for new projects and is intentionally selective about working with Ruby.
