Chris Held

Development Lead

Chris is a hands-on, analytical thinker, solving problems with caution and diligence. Don't take his quietness as absence in the moment— he listens and processes, and quietly judges you. If he weren't coding here with us, he'd be involved in more tangible challenges like structural or electrical engineering. His wife and three daughters, Violet, Dottie and Emily keep him busy outside of work. He loves camping and spending time outdoors.
"Chris has no quote, because he lives by his own inspiring words. But he won't tell them to you."
