Principal Technical Yahoo, Engineering Manager, Electron Herder and Trouble Maker, yahoo!

In his 11+ years working in Silicon Valley Chris has had the good fortune to work with some of the brightest and most influential teams and individuals in the industry. Interned at Apple, went to PointCast to work on the graphics and animation engine. In 1998 he went to Mozilla / Netscape as an engineer and manager for Gecko, worked on core Gecko implementation (DOM, XUL, pixel pushing, etc.) and later as a manager on Gecko embedding, Camino, etc. In 2003 he went to Macromedia at first working on Dreamweaver and then on FlexBuilder 2. Yahoo! lured him away in late 2005 to cause trouble with the Messenger team, which is when he started working with Windows Presentation Foundation. Having worked on PointCast, XUL, Flex 2 and now WPF, declarative rich GUI systems are getting to be old hat!
