About Me

I'm Chris Thackrey, a Full-Stack Software Engineer with expertise in modern web technologies. I specialize in building performant, accessible, and beautiful web applications using Next.js, React, TypeScript, and other cutting-edge tools.

With a background in both software engineering and design, I bring a unique perspective to development projects. My experience spans from leading software architecture to designing complex systems, allowing me to approach problems holistically.

I'm passionate about AI-driven development, creating intuitive user experiences, and building tools that make developers' lives easier. When I'm not coding, I enjoy researching emerging technologies and sharing knowledge through podcasts and articles.
