Testimonials

Chris is one of the most resourceful web developers I've worked with, versatile in both front and backend programming. His methodical rapid-prototyping approach to build robust backend systems makes complex programming feel effortless and allows me to focus on thinking creatively as a designer.
He understands how a good UX (user experience) can make a big difference to your end product and loves to experiment with new ways to engage the audience. In addition to being a reliable partner-in-crime, Chris is very responsive, open to feedbacks, and personable, making him a collaborator to die for.
