About Me

Since the age of five I have been captivated by the potential of computers and the challenge of programming since using BASIC on a Commodore 64. This hobby followed me through me through my years of school, experimenting with microprocessors, graphic & UI design, 3D graphics, robotics, and more until I began programming professionally.

In 2006 I began a software startup in Portland, Oregon where my business partner and I spent 15 years scaling from two to 40 employees. This software company was designed to showcase the strengths of agile workflows and to offer programmers an environment where they could work like a freelancer with financial security and perks of a stable business. We were recognized as one of Portland's Top 20 Fastest growing companies, two years in a row.

I have never stopped writing and merging code on a wide range of projects. From Fortune 500 companies and government organizations to software for small, family owned businesses, every project is an exciting chance to explore new designs and technology.

Track Record

We then founded Parthenon Software in 2006, with the purpose of putting some of our theories on agile, open source-based development into practice. Parthenon was always a very hands-on company whose management personally coded on a day to day basis as well as training and interacting with developers from entry to senior level, so Chris was involved in most projects we did and managed many of them on his own. I would be happy to recommend Chris.

During Chris’ role as Vice President of our HOA he not only provided leadership and support to our HOA, but also helping us solve several technical details. We are a rather large HOA with over 300 homes. Implementing these changes with so many residents was not an easy task, but Chris helped make them happen. My experience tells me Chris is very capable and dedicated to the task, and a valuable resource in any organization.
