Hi, I'm Chris.

I'm a hands-on software engineering leader and manager with over 20 years experience who is passionate about creating powerful and usable software that betters the human condition.

I love jump-starting teams and products using the right mix of technology and strategy. I also enjoy incrementally evolving existing platforms to have higher value and be more impactful. I work with co-founders to refine product vision and establish the right technology team and architecture, and also implement a substantial portion of the early product with my own hands.

I'm looking for a foundational, hands-on, engineering leadership role, preferably at an earlier stage company, or in a highly entrepreneurial team inside a larger organization. I'd prefer a full time role but would consider various consulting arrangements for salary and equity.

Check out my resume and website for details of the products I've helped create, but they run the gamut from cancer patient support health tech and genetic testing insurance billing to defense intelligence analyst notebook to proteomics lab science and algorithm development.

If you have an idea for a product or service that can truly benefit people, but need help getting it off the ground, please get in touch.
