about Chris

I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Quicken Loans, the nation’s largest online mortgage lender based in Detroit, MI. There, I lead the mobile development team that is responsible for bringing Quicken Loan's onto phones and tablets. I graduated from Western Michigan University after transferring from Michgian State Univeristy.

I started out after college working on a java based application. After a year of doing that, I transitioned to C3 C# and ASP .Net. I spent 5 years working on web sites, windows services, smart clients, and web services. I think it's fair to say I've forgotten more about .Net development than most people know. After becoming firmly entrenched in .Net development, I decided to start exploring mobile development. I began by focusing on iOS and Android development. Returning to Java has resparked my interest in both open source and the ability to write something on one box that will run on others. That's where I'm at today.

In addition to all things related to software, I'm also very interested in sailing (I own a small sailboat that I sail on Lake Saint Clair), drinking (bourbon and craft beer), reading, learning, and video games.
