Chris has been a web developer for
VIP (Vermont Information Processing) since 2018, where he works as a .NET and front end web developer for their data visualization tool. Within four months of starting on the project, he proposed and implemented a new css architecture, created a library of new hire project documentation, updated project UI to use modern technologies, and developed numerous new features for customers. Before working for VIP,
he taught himself c# and trained as a full stack JavaScript developer at the Burlington Code Academy in VT. He has professional experience with
JavaScript, HTML5/CSS, C#, .NET MVC, SQL & NoSQL, and many other technologies.
Chris has worked an assortment of positions in his professional life. He solved client IT problems for four years as a team lead for the University of Vermont's Techteam while earning bachelors degrees in wildlife biology and psychology. Since graduation he has tracked tortoises in the Mojave desert, taught curious learners of all ages at an outdoor education center in Bethlehem, New York, and researched raccoons around Burlington's urban landscape. He enjoyed the natural resources
field but is enjoying the opportunity to use his other passion, technology, in a professional field that better fits his needs. His passions include hiking, puzzles, folk dance, knowing the names of all the trees, and playing way too much Overwatch.
Chris is an amateur photographer, and all of the background photography on this site is his work.
