Bio
Chris was always able to encourage me with his vision, ideas and guidance, which inspired me to iterate and produce designs and/or code that I could be proud of. Chris would always be thinking about the next thing, learning to better himself and those in his team and sharing what he's learnt with me to advance my own skills.
Chris is a great front end developer. I'd always rest easy when he was working on a project. He's laid back but intense! His work was always of the highest quality and he did the best presentation I've ever seen on how front end coders go about their work. I'd seek him out to work with me again when the need arises.
