I'm Chris, a full-stack .NET developer nearing six years of expertise, specializing in crafting integrated solutions using ASP.NET Core. I'm deeply committed to enhancing user experiences and currently focus on improving my front-end skills, with a particular emphasis on mastering TypeScript.

My professional journey is marked by a passion for both learning and sharing knowledge, having mentored junior developers and always seeking to broaden my own technical horizons. Presently, I am developing services tailored to the needs of the vibrant player community of Final Fantasy XIV, aiming to streamline their gaming experiences with functional and intuitive interfaces.

As I approach a pivotal milestone in my career, my next goal is to step into a senior developer role, where I can further influence project outcomes and lead teams towards innovative solutions. Outside of work, I continue to engage with the gaming world, not only as a hobby but as a source of inspiration for my projects.
