About Me
"Focus is a matter of deciding what things you're not going to do."
John Carmack
Hi, I'm Chris. I'm a self-taught Power Platform developer with a strong emphasis on beautiful user interfaces and amazing user experiences. I have 6+ years of experience in large companies, developing both stand-alone solutions as well as complex, multi-team enterprise grade apps.
My Story
I started teaching myself HTML and CSS when I was 14. I have had an unconventional career, working my way through management before transitioning into tech roles. I always kept the fire going, learning VBA, Python and eventually Power Platform along the way.
​
One thing my experience has given me is a true appreciation for the value of domain knowledge. On any project I am on, I aspire to gain as deep an understanding of the subject matter as I can. This means I can make informed decisions and work holistically to deliver a fantastic, inspiring, and useful product.
Where I'm From
I am a forest lad, having grown up in the New Forest national park in the UK. I spent a good chunk of my working life in London but have now happily relocated back. I enjoy walking through the woods, cycling and going camping with my family.
My Skills
