# Christopher Stoll (stollee)

> Christopher Stoll ("stollee") is a software entrepreneur and technical leader in Barberton, Ohio — founder of stollee, llc, co-founder and former CTO of Bloomfilter, former CTO of Skiplist, and an at-large member of Barberton City Council. Two decades took him from hands-on engineering to the CTO chair, grounded in algorithms and AI — all of it built in the Rust Belt rather than on the coasts. He also shoots film, prints in a basement darkroom, ships software, and writes, usually with a historian's eye and a dry sense of humor about the whole thing.
