Hi, I’m Chris.

I create usable, responsive, future-friendly sites and apps with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React, React Native, Node.js, PostCSS, Pug, Haml, Sass, BEM, OOCSS, RWD, Markdown, PHP, Gulp, npm, Yarn, Jekyll, Vim, and Git.

I’m ambitious, self-driven, and enthusiastic about the future of the web. I currently work in Brooklyn, New York as a Senior Software Developer at Air, previously at IEX and Salesforce.com. Using the latest web technologies and languages, I strive to build beautifully designed and masterfully coded websites and apps. I continually learn from and contribute to the web community and constantly find myself taking on self-initiated side projects. I merge the gap between designer and developer by taking my designs from pen and paper to usable, performance-first online experiences.

Say hello.
