Hi, I’m Chris!

I design and build products like ChordBank, which has helped millions of people all over the world play guitar, and Better Notes, which was featured by Apple as one of the best new apps on the App Store.

As a software engineer for

The New York Times

I led development of The New York Times’ flagship iPad app. Then, I joined NYTBeta and led development of a new app called

Cooking

which featured (then) 16,000 delicious recipes from The Times.

After Cooking, I switched from engineering to design—as a product designer, I worked as part of a small, eight-person team on the first major redesign of nytimes.com’s homepage in over a decade.

As a journalist, I’ve written for places like:

The New York Times, The Boston Globe, GOOD, Popular Mechanics, New York
