About Me

Hey, I'm Chris — a Full-Stack Software Engineer who's all in on building powerful, user-focused web experiences. Back in the early days of the pandemic, I hit a crossroads. I was managing projects in IT security but felt disconnected from what I was doing. So I made a bold decision: I took a pay cut to pursue what truly lights me up — solving complex problems through code and building things that make life and business better. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." — Henry David Thoreau Since then, I've poured myself into full-stack development, gaining deep experience across React, Django, PHP/WordPress, and DevOps tools like Docker and GitHub Actions. At Capitol Information Group, I've tackled 12+ applications, rapidly mastering new stacks and surprising even the CIO with my ability to absorb and apply technical knowledge at speed. They called me a sponge — in the best way possible. But I'm not just about code. I'm about people. My teammates say I bring strong communication, teamwork, and positive energy to every collaboration. I believe in transparency, continuous learning, and putting in the work. I've also used AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot to streamline development and solve real business challenges.
