Hi! 👋

About

Hi! I'm Chris, a professional software engineer with a passion for full stack web development and design. I've had the pleasure of working at several industry standard institutions and have gained a wealth of experience in the field. I graduated from Northeastern University with degrees in Computer Science and Business Administration, concentrating in Marketing. I'm always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow, so feel free to reach out to me!

I have a passion for creating—making a few of my own designs like this website as well as a few minimalist posters of some of my favorite tv shows and movies. Some hobbies of mine include working out, playing video games, watching movies, and knitting! I love trying new things and am always looking for new experiences. Ask me about anything: I'll tell you all I know about it, and I'll hope you'll do the same!

Full Stack Developer Co-op ~ June 2023 - Jan 2024

During my tenure at Priceline, I spearheaded the creation of new and innovative designs for post-booking and user profiles utilizing NextJS and GraphQL. I significantly enhanced our continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices across all repositories, resulting in faster and cleaner deployments. Additionally, I transitioned our repository structure from a monolithic design to microservices, which greatly facilitated development processes. Through several A/B tests, I was able to clarify and improve user experience, leading to a 50% improvement in design decisions.
