Resume

Experience

I approach every aspect of my life with the same amount of drive and determination to be the best. I'm not afraid to try something new, and possibly even fail. Even in failure, I've found that I've learned something new; perhaps more than when I'm successful. And with that knowledge, I can go on - to ultimately succeed. I believe this is the essence of Experience: Having done enough wrong to understand what is right. - Chris

Personal qualities

Proven Experience

With over 20 years of hands-on experience in web development and digital operations, I’ve worked with some of the world’s largest international e-commerce brands. My hand-picked team of expert coders and designers brings that same world-class talent to your business — with a personal touch.

Client-Focused Dedication

Every business is unique — and so is every solution we deliver. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or a growing company, your success is our top priority. We listen, we care, and we’re in your corner from day one.

Relentless Performance

Downtime costs you money. That’s why we work around the clock to ensure your site stays fast, functional, and secure. You’ll have a team that treats your website like it’s our own — because your business deserves nothing less.

Built on Relationships

We don’t believe in one-and-done projects. Our clients stick with us because we’re always here when they need us — even long after the launch. Think of us as your digital partner, not just your web developer.

Chris is fantastic to work with. Very responsive and efficient. Plus, he's able to speak in layman terms so I don't always have to understand the tech lingo involved with the work done on his end. Highly recommend.

If I had a technology company, I'd make Chris my CTO.
I've worked with him on a number of projects and every interaction I've had has confirmed that he is a superb developer who takes the time to understand and care about the business cases, and the underlying logic of what he's doing. He maintains great vision instead of getting lost in a sea of tickets. To boot, Chris is consistently an early adopter of new technologies and methods. Add a bit of sarcastic wit and voila!
