Bio
Brooke Hamilton
While working with Christian at Reconnect, I was most impressed with his ability to communicate with others outside of his practice. Christian does an exemplary job of explaining the details of complicated engineering work to design, sales, and onboarding teams while making sure everyone is on the same page. This closed the design-engineering gap on projects where we worked together. He leads cross-team meetings with ease and direction and his stellar communication will bring value to any organization he joins.

I worked with Christian at Reconnect, Inc. for the better part of a year (2020-2021), across both front- and back-end projects. Hands down, when he joined the company, his influence was immediate. Christian introduced GraphQL to our stack, spearheaded a first-of-its-kind (at Reconnect) payments architecture, got buy-in from the team to support NodeJS when he launched our printing micro service, among many other contributions both large and small. I had the pleasure of working closely with Christian while he served as a project lead during our development of a payments micro service. He was tremendously helpful, always informative and patient. I was impressed by the level of detail he put into organizing and planning the projects he worked on, whether that be in diagrams, documentation, etc. -- always superb work from preparatory to deployment phases. One testament to his work ethic: despite living in South Africa during his tenure with Reconnect, is that he graciously alternated daily between his local timezone and working EST. I highly recommend Christian -- any team would benefit immediately, full stop.
