Where Is Chris?

Trying to live a low-pace lifestyle in the little southwestern Ontario town of Lucan, Ontario.

What Is Chris Up To These Days?

I am currently working for Ziff Davis Shopping as a Staff Software Engineer. I am helping to build shopper loyalty infrastructure using some of the following tools:

• PHP 8.3 with mostly Laravel
• Python 8
• Postgres and MySQL
• Docker
• AWS

On the hobby front, I continue to do my monthly board games afternoon/evening with the same group of friends for almost 20 years. I am retiring from my simulation baseball league at the end of the season (we have three weeks left) after 28 years.

I also continue to run a weekly Magic: The Gathering commander night at a London gaming store.

I continue to tinker with my two 3d-printers.
