Aside from his technical acumen with software development, Kris has led several small development teams ranging from three to twelve developers, DBAs, and other technical staff.

Kris also has experience beyond the standard developer tricks, including graphics design work and digital audio processing. He knows his way around Photoshop fairly well and enjoys the graphics side of the house almost as much as the development side, though he knows when to leave the work to the real pros.
