Hi

My name is Chris.

I like building things, mostly with JavaScript.

About me

I'm a full-stack web developer at Twenty20, in Marina del Rey, CA.

A few years ago, I learned how to code at Dev Bootcamp, in Chicago, IL.

Before that I worked as an instructional designer (i.e., I made e-learning courseware).

Before that, I studied literature and film at the University of Chicago.
