Pleasure to meet you! I’m Chris 👋.

I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer

I specialize in Laravel, WordPress, Javascript and PHP.  I’ve worked on leadership, committee, and personal office sites for the U.S. House of Representatives. My professional experience in software started in 2014 but I’ve been building with code since childhood.

Currently I am a Senior Software Engineer at Continuity Centers. Prior to Continuity Centers I was a Software Engineer at Engage, and as an independent consultant in 2017 I architected the City of Salisbury Maryland website (discovery, design, development, and training).

I also have familiarity with other languages and technologies.

  • React.js
  • Vue.js
  • Node.js
  • Python
  • Ruby on Rails

Personally, I’m also a photographer. You can find my portfolio and photo blog at https://photography.mcintosh.io. I created all the images displayed here.

My values

These values fuel my mission to build valuable software.

Communication

I believe full potential can’t be achieved without effective communication.

Adaptability

Building flexible code (and knowing when and where to break this rule) keeps projects profitable.

Harmony

I’m known for being a stabilizing presence and work hard to find common ground in code and my teammates.

Consistency

I’m known for showing up consistently and pushing through difficult times.

Strategy

Thinking ahead prevents otherwise inevitable tragedies.

Analytical

Good software makes hard things simple, and it happens on purpose – not by accident.

Testimonials

See what people have to say about me & my work.

“I have worked with Chris for nearly four years. During that time, I’ve known Chris to be honest, hard-working, and talented.

From the first week I met Chris, I knew he was someone I could trust. He has consistently demonstrated that level of professionalism. That motivated work ethic, combined with his technical knowledge and talents, positions him to be a leader in our office and company culture.

Chris is an incredible asset to any team. He brings a stabilizing and consistent presence, and a great smile and laugh. He shines when he leads internal meetings or directly explains technical language to clients, he is comfortable with both. He brings his technical skills and is an excellent cultural fit. He is someone you enjoy being around inside and outside of the office and I am proud to call him a friend.”

“As a Project Manager at Engage, I worked closely with Chris to identify technical solutions for various client needs. Chris’ ingenuity, collaboration, and positive attitude made him an invaluable member of our team. I would regularly call Chris to discuss theoretical solutions before positioning them before a client, and always left those calls feeling confident, and well versed in our ability to address development requests.
