Chris Ostrouchov

Senior Software Engineer

I am passionate about open source software. After graduate school, I learned that I love architecting and building innovative tools that empower numerical computing of all kinds. So far in my career, I've had the opportunity to perform a wide variety of work including cloud/on-prem platform engineering, package/environment management, distributed computing, and backend web development.

I developed, architected, and am currently the tech lead for two of Quansight's major open source projects: Nebari and Conda-Store.

I have worked extensively in packaging within the Conda and Nixpkgs communities and developed data science platforms that run on all major clouds and dedicated on-prem infrastructure. I have developed software for a wide range of businesses from small stealth startups to large financial firms, government contracts, and universities.
