Christopher Vaught

Senior Full-Stack Product Engineer & Technical Lead

Web, mobile, cloud-native, and AI-powered product engineering

I design, architect, and deliver modern software platforms across healthcare, transportation, government, and consumer-facing industries, with 15+ years of experience turning complex requirements into secure, scalable, user-centered products.

My core stack spans React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and C#/.NET, backed by front-end architecture, UI/UX, accessibility, mobile application development, distributed APIs, and cloud-native delivery.

Recent work includes enterprise AI platforms using Retrieval-Augmented Generation, semantic search, vector databases, ingestion pipelines, LLM integrations, observability, governance, and auditability controls.

RedefineIt is where that professional work intersects with interactive design, generative art, sound, and software experiments that keep the craft visible.
