Hi, my name is Christopher Seamon.

I‘m a Principal Software Engineer from Richmond, Virginia.

Thinking about risks so you don‘t have to.

About

My road towards development started with studying Scientific and Medical Illustration. It seems strange but the process of creating art and enjoying science helped me with problem solving. I took a web design course in 2003. I continued to complete my degree in Art knowing that I wanted to code more than anything. I was more passionate about building and solving problems than I was painting and sculpting.

My main focus these days is building new features for my employer. I focus on performance, developer experience, and creating solutions that can easily be refactored.
