Bio
Andrew Chan
I had the pleasure to work with Christ for multiple years from Junior Engineer to a Senior Engineer. Chris has a great passion for what would be easiest for people to adopt from a design and usability standpoint and is often requested as a sounding board for many ideas. Curious and eager Chris seeks to learn new concepts and technologies and incorporates them when appropriate to his work and thoughts about the systems he works with. He has been able to lead across multiple teams changing many underlying systems and frameworks from cache delivery to k8s configuration. He has a keen mind for continued improvements and is a valued addition to any team.
