Hi, I'm Chris.
I'm a hands-on software engineering leader with over 20 years experience who is passionate about creating powerful and usable software that betters the human condition.
I've jump-started multiple teams and products using the right mix of strategy, technology, and talent. I've worked with founders, product, and UX to refine their vision and establish a technology culture and architecture that delivered immediate value while preserving options for the future. Having implemented multiple early products with my own hands, I have also enjoyed incrementally evolving existing platforms and processes to be more impactful.
Check out my resume and website for details of the products I've helped launch, but they include a cancer patient / clinical-trial support app (as head of engineering) and patient- and provider-facing digital workflow tools including insurance pricing estimates (cited as a key asset in the $375M acquisition of a genetic testing company).
I'm seeking a leadership role such as founding engineer or head of engineering at an early stage company. I'd prefer a full time role but would consider consulting arrangements for salary and equity. I care deeply about and will work hard to grow both your product and the team that builds it.
