Bio
💻 Claudius Brasil
Chris is a manager who truly cares about his team. When I joined the company, he was a senior engineer in another team. From the brief opportunities where we interacted at the time, I could already see that he was very concerned about building the right thing for the company and would support his team so that they could get there. When he became a manager, I knew that he would have incredible challenges ahead of him, but I also felt that he understood the responsibility of this position and what it meant to be a servant-leader. I was later assigned to report to him. Change is rarely an easy process, but Chris made a remarkable effort to minimise disruption for me and the team, and as a result, the team remained efficient, and the morale improved. This is because, as a former developer, he has a deep understanding of the work that we do and the challenges we face. He always strives to ensure that the expectations placed on our team are reasonable and that we have the resources we need to succeed. He is an excellent communicator who keeps us informed and involved in decision-making processes. Chris is also a great coach and mentor -- he recognizes our strengths and helps us leverage them, while also providing guidance and support where needed. on our 1:1's he is always present and engaged. He listens and helps the team work out where they want to be in their careers, and then coaches us on how to get there. Regardless of how busy he is, he always tries to make sure that we feel his door is open for anything we might need from him. But he is also someone who knows when to delegate when it makes sense, and he would as much as possible give us tasks according to our interests and/or career goals. I really recommend Chris as both an engineer and a leader. His commitment to his team’s success and well-being sets him apart, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him.

Working alongside Chris is a fantastic experience. He truly cares about the work he and his team do and the impact it has on others. Chris is an excellent communicator and builds a great rapport with his direct reports, colleagues, as well as internal and external stakeholders. In addition to his exceptional people skills, Chris has outstanding technical abilities. He can put his development skills to work and swiftly bring an idea to life. I have gained significant insights about the healthcare industry from Chris, and his enthusiasm for creating software that enhances people's lives is inspiring. Chris is an exceptional manager, skilled engineer, and a pleasure to collaborate with.
