Hi, I'm Chris.

I'm a full stack software engineer that helps customers discover and book amazing experiences around the world.

TL;DR

What

Former leader of global sales and partnerships teams that made the switch into tech and engineering. Passionate about making customers happy, empowering entrepreneurs, and doing some good for the world.

Where

I moved to Berlin in 2021 after spending almost four years in Toronto and on Vancouver Island. Before that, I spent a few years in London, UK. I miss it. I spent most of my early years in the Midlands so, yeah, my accent is a little all over the place.

Weird

When I'm not working I like to explore new places, hike mountains and paddle lakes. I'm also learning German.
