Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris A is a Full Stack Developer based in Old Toronto with eight years of hands-on experience building user-focused web applications using modern JavaScript stacks like React, Node.js and TypeScript. He’s shipped production systems across startups and scale-oriented teams—most recently at Layla after impactful full-stack roles at TouchBistro and MavTek—and maintains a pragmatic focus on RESTful APIs, accessibility, and cross-browser compatibility. His background in electro-mechanical controls and field service gives him a rare systems-level perspective, enabling him to translate hardware constraints and real-world operational needs into robust software solutions. A lifelong learner and active contributor to community projects (including front-end improvements to the popular ZtM job board), he thrives in collaborative, agile environments where continuous improvement and creative problem-solving are valued.
