Bio
Melanie Cooper
Chris Tongen is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the finest database wizard I have ever had the honor of working alongside. He stepped in to help out with a mobile app I was developing for cocktail recipes - and the work he did on that app enabled us to bring it to market, and helped us to enjoy 6+ years (and counting!) as one of the most popular apps in that space. His code is intuitive, impressively elegant, and robust beyond measure. On top of that, he is a patient educator, always willing to take the time to explain how something works. Even more, he's an inspiring teammate, with a magical quality that makes everyone *else* on the team want to step up their output to match his. Working with Chris was a rare treat and a wonderful education!
