Bio
Matt Fitzpatrick
Chris is a brilliant engineer whose ability to wear multiple hats make him a force multiplier for the team. Chris is as adept at rolling up his sleeves and spending the day hunting down a persistent bug deep within the codebase as he is at charming high-level administrators during critical client meetings. His knowledge of our platform quickly rivaled that of the original architects, and although he continues to assure everyone he is not *really* a developer, he is a key member of the development team, whose teammates come to him constantly for answers and advice. He's inventive, thoughtful, a diligent worker, and also very funny and easy to work with. A huge contributor to our success.
