Profile


Chris is a programmer with a lifelong love of all things technology. From keeping up with modern trends in software development, to following the details of the latest SpaceX flight, if it's new and exciting, Chris is probably interested. He has experience with a diverse array of programming languages and frameworks, but his primary expertise is in full stack web development using Laravel and Vue. He’s been writing software for over a dozen years, on teams both large and small, and has a history of turning around troubled projects. He’s always excited to take on whatever challenges the next project may bring, and takes pride in his ability to quickly master new code bases and to hit the ground running. When not working he’s likely indulging his love of books and film. He is an avid cinephile and loves losing whole days in a book, whether it’s a literary classic or popular genre fiction. Chris holds a BA in Computer Science from MSU and a BA in Mathematics from MSU.
