ABOUT

Hi, I'm Chris 👋

Welcome to my humble showcase, featuring a few of my most prominent works. I'm a senior frontend developer and design engineer who has spent the last 20+ years building production web platforms and design systems, and crafting professional user experiences. I'm primarily self-taught, and I still make time to research, tinker, and learn something new every day.

I discovered my passion for programming and design while attending classes for Visual Basic and Photoshop in high school. I'm also a lifelong fan of video games, which all began when I received my first console as a kid, a classic Nintendo Entertainment System. I still remember the magic of picking up that controller and making Mario run and jump across the screen (occasionally to his untimely death). It was this that sparked my earliest interest in design and development.

That passion grew into a career spanning a broad range of industries, including photography, corporate media, a digital agency, and a handful of tech startups. Along the way I created Skeleton, a free and open source UI library that has now achieved 150k+ monthly downloads. I serve as its core maintainer and co-founded Skeleton Labs to support the project. It's been a privilege to work alongside some of the most talented and passionate people in the industry while building platforms for the web, video games, and open source.

These days my focus is on agentic development and AI-augmented workflows. I put LLM technology to practical use, from importing and structuring site content to generating real design solutions for customers.

I believe my strength lies not just in writing code or designing interfaces, but in solving real world problems. I pride myself on my ability to listen, learn, and help figure out what a project truly needs, then deliver at every step from concept to execution. Whether you're building a web application, looking to engage your audience, or carving a new path in the world, I'd love to help your project move forward on that journey.
