Introducing Karl

Karl lived and worked in Canada, America, Japan, and Germany.

He has worked in tiny companies, and companies with thousands of people, but finds startups are definitely the most fun!

His favorite engineering environment is at the system level or bare metal.

Why joining Blackfire?

I joined Blackfire because I like the people and culture there, and because I’m passionate about performant code. Software performance has long been an under-appreciated metric. but that’s changing now that Moore’s Law no longer holds and software needs to scale to reach millions.

Christophe is the Chief Product Officer at Blackfire. He's an engineer, but probably one of the least "tech" people in the company. He's wearing many hats, from product management to marketing and sales. He loves the beauty of simple solutions that solve actual problems.
