Behind the Screen

Hi, I’m Chris! A passionate web developer who thrives on bringing tech to life, creating seamless user experiences, and crafting responsive web designs. My journey began with a love for gaming and tech, and over the years, I’ve honed my skills in various frontend frameworks to build intuitive interfaces that make a difference.

When I’m not coding, I’m moonlighting as a traveling petsitter, exploring new places while caring for animals. This nomadic lifestyle has taught me the importance of balance, adaptability, and problem-solving—skills that flow directly into my work as a developer.

I believe in the power of learning and growth, so I’m constantly pursuing new challenges, from developing my indie RPG to learning the latest in tech trends. My goal is to make an impact, whether through a project, teaching others, or building my dream of working from my own non-profit animal sanctuary.

Great ideas come to life through teamwork. I thrive on building strong connections, sharing knowledge, and creating innovative results together.

Details matter. I take pride in crafting clean, efficient, and reliable code that brings visions to life and exceeds expectations.
