Hello There

I'm Chris

I have been working with computers since I could remember so it was only right that I pursue a cereer in Computer Science. I graduated from Fairfield University's Software Engineering program with a Bachelor's in C.S. and minors in both Mathematics and Information Systems. Since then, I have gained a diverse breadth of knowledge through experience in the fields of software development, systems management and business consulting.
