Summary
Chris Duke is a pragmatic front-end-focused developer and computer technician with 10 years of experience blending hands-on programming, freelance web development, and operational roles. Based in Nashville, he specializes in HTML, CSS (including Flexbox and responsive frameworks like Bootstrap, Bulma, Materialize), JavaScript, Ember.js, and Test-Driven Development, and brings an OOP mindset to UI-centric projects. He has supported small-business growth from operations to code—having scaled fulfillment processes as a shipping manager and later translating that attention to detail into shipping reliable web features for clients. Comfortable learning in-team and adapting best practices, he favors environments with clear communication and continuous challenges where he can broaden his language and framework toolkit. An autodidact who pairs practical production experience at FedEx with ongoing freelance work, he’s as likely to optimize a workflow as he is to refactor an interface for better maintainability.
