About Christopher Lang

I love to build products, teams, and companies. From product management, to developing leaders, to hands on engineering; I have a wide range of experience across large scale backend systems, digital goods commerce, identity and access management, consumer hardware, wireless multimedia, and streaming technologies.I currently lead teams at Google building XR and AR apps and services. Previously, I led the Meta Quest/Oculus Store org and helped scale the store to $1B in software sales. Before that I led the Amazon Digital Goods engineering organization building commerce, discovery, and entitlement teams which supported the Amazon AppStore, Alexa SkillStore, Twitch, and several other customer-facing digital goods businesses. I enjoy leading teams and designing products, but my passion is software engineering. I find that the most effective way for me to scale my passion for software engineering is to build, lead, and coach high performing product-focused teams and leaders, while remaining hands-on as much as I can.Skills: Leadership Development, Managing Managers, Software Engineering, Product Management, Agile Management, Software Architecture, UI Design, Protocol Design, Database Design, Software Testing, Performance OptimizationLanguages: Kotlin, Java, Ruby, Python, Objective-C, JavaScript, C++, C, C#, Perl, PHPPlatforms: AR, VR, XR, iOS, Android, Django, Rails.NET
