My first encounter with any form of software development was with a ZX81 in 1982. However at four years old, I was just typing what Dad said. I guess I was an early starter in ‘Pair programming’!
Since then I’ve always had a hand in computing, software and hardware. I’ve setup a few companies, my first at 17, system building and websites. I’ve helped develop around 50 websites over the last 10 years from KP’s portfolio in 1998 to various charities in 2000 (NCDL, WaterAid & GreenPeace Int.) to a number of .COM ventures (article27 & blue-wire). My last big projects were working on Nestlés corporate website and helping to deliver Vodafone’s ground-breaking M-Pesa project, a mobile money transfer platform.
I’ve been consulting through my company Clarity IT Ltd, since 2003. I’ve worked throughout the UK and most of Europe. Mainly developing ASP.NET (C# preferred or VB) or mobile device projects (.NET CF).
What interests me now? I’m always fascinated by the latest developments in computing. Mobile, ‘lifestyle computing ‘, gaming etc. I’m also into streaming technologies (Mainly Windows Media) and the various HD formats (Though mostly Blu-Ray).
I’ve been known to fly on occasion at Cambridge airport, though I haven’t got anywhere near a PPL yet (I’m not sure if I trust myself!) |

As far as technology goes, if it has more than one button I am lost. In a sea of technical content and emerging technologies, I am adrift on a raft made only from DevExpress USB drives and two empty Haribo packets.
However, fortunately for me I enjoy trying to learn about what's new and exciting in the developer community from a huge group of people who are infintely more knowledgable than I.
I've been working in the technology sector since I graduated in 2004, with a near useless degree for this line of work (a Masters in Experimental Phonetics ... on the off chance that you're interested). I first caught a glimpse of what this fast-paced industry might offer me when I worked for Autonomy, and following that I discovered a fantastic developer community when I moved to Red Gate Software. Now I give out the warm fuzzies to DevExpress customers, while making sure that the community that welcomed me in is provided for and supported by as many advocates as I can find behind the scenes. |

Chris is regularly caught by his wife browsing internet sites at 2.00am in the morning. Sadly he is always looking at .NET sites rather than the haunts frequented by his peers.
Chris has worked on various large projects and is specialised in C#, ASP.NET, AJAX, SQL and various other acronymns. Having always tried to keep at the front of the technology curve, i guess it is time to share that knowledge around a little.
Simple tip, never mention Silverlight infront of him (if you are in a hurry).
You can catch him on his blog http://silverlightuk.blogspot.com |
