About me

Hello! I'm Chris, a seasoned Freelance Software Engineer with an MSc in Software Engineering and over 25 years of experience in the tech industry. My journey is fueled by a deep passion for technology and innovation. Currently, I specialize in architecting and developing cutting-edge applications across various platforms, with a particular emphasis on .NET Core and React (Next.js). My skill set encompasses proficiency in both SQL-based Relational Database Management Systems and modern document databases like MongoDB and DynamoDB, as well as experience in implementing robust and scalable event-sourced data storage approaches for time-sequenced data handling. Currently, I’m dedicated to finding the most cost-effective hosting solutions for these technologies on cloud platforms, particularly AWS, ensuring high performance and efficient resource utilization.

When the computers power down, I enjoy being outdoors. I often spend weekends hill walking with my wife and daughter. Cycling through Wales allows me to CTRL+ALT+DEL my mind ready for the week ahead (yes, I must be running an old OS up there!). I also enjoy the occasional dabble inelectronic music production, and currently have a daily evening routine involving playing chess with my daughter.

I'm always eager to tackle new challenges and collaborate on exciting projects. Let's connect and create something extraordinary together.
