# Christian Tucker > Senior Software Engineer at Blockchain.com Location: Alvin, Texas, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/christiantucker The key to managing a successful tech-oriented business is a two-way street of understanding and respecting each and every engineer. Engineers are professionals that have built a set of tools over a long period of time in their life, understanding how each engineer prefers to solve issues as well as how they would like to manage their work-life balance is key to a healthy workspace. It's important to realize that sometimes the most experienced engineer may not be the best person for the job. It's far too often that the experienced engineer gets put on a complicated task that they have no interest in solving and due to the lack of interest, the quality of the solution suffers, but if you were to put a less experienced engineer on the task that was highly interested in solving the issue it's very likely that you will be rewarded with a much more thought out solution. The result of this is that you end up with two happy engineers, the more experienced engineer is able to direct his focus towards something he's interested in working on and the less-experienced engineer not only got to direct his focus towards something interesting, but they have also come out of that challenge as a better engineer. By allowing your engineers to grow based on interests, you are not only increasing the value of the engineers on your team, but you are also increasing their loyalty to the business in which they're working and maintaining a workspace in which morale is always high. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Blockchain.com Jan 2021 – Jan 2025 ### Back End Developer @ TxStreet Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Houston, Texas, United States At TxStreet I built a robust and extensible real-time backend solution for visualizing the Blockchain, the original implementation included Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Monero, but it was built in a way that adding new chains would be extremely straightforward. Transaction categories were implemented through the extensible idea of "Houses" where each house had an implementation for filtering and running logic against transactions that met their criteria, these "houses" could then parse and visualize transaction-specific data, such as Swaps or transfers of NFTs. This service was written using NodeJS for the backend in combination with Socket-IO and Apache AVRO for serializing important information in a performance-oriented way. The backend infrastructure was designed on MongoDB and could easily scale to millions of active mempool transactions. Originally TxStreet was slowly scoping into a full-blown explorer, but has since been reverted to mempool only. ### Senior Full Stack Engineer @ Zulu Republic Jan 2017 – Jan 2021 | Alvin, TX At ZuluRepublic I was responsible for building out many of the backend features that powered our products including building out an indexer for Ethereum, and syncing of transactional state for our "custodial" accounts to provide real-time service. I was in charge of building and deploying many of our different websites using React (NextJS) as well as learning Solidity for reviewing contracts. At Zulu we grew our services to well over a million different users without experiencing any technical interruptions and were on course to provide early-adopter marketing solutions to merchants across the world, we (myself and Michael Rodriguez) also developed and deployed Lite.IM which was the world's first multi-platform social media and SMS custodial wallet. ### Co-Founder @ Qualify, LLC Jan 2013 – Jan 2018 | Houston, Texas, United States Cloud infrastructure setup & development of horizontally scalable backend services and matching engine for the Qualify application. Responsibilities included managing team expectations and reviewing & guiding team members regarding expectations for completed sprints. At qualify we used different product management tools to keep a clear picture of where the product was going on what needed to be done. ## Education ### Computer Science Alvin College ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/christian-tucker --- Source: https://flows.cv/christiantucker JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/christiantucker/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-23
