Summary
Chris Edgemon is a versatile software engineer and "fenestrator" based in Dallas with 14 years of hands-on experience building tools that sit at the intersection of architecture, open source, and practical programming. His background spans self-directed software projects, stints at media and music startups, and immersive programming residencies (Recurse Center/Hacker School) where he shipped game servers, interpreters, and cellular automata simulators. Trained in neuroscience and architecture (BA, M.Arch) and fluent in Python and full-stack tooling, he brings a systems-minded design approach to software problems and a taste for pedagogical and political dimensions of tech. Often described as a semi-pro programmer, Chris pairs curiosity-driven exploration with production delivery at Grand Openings, Inc., and maintains public code and project histories that reveal a habit of building quirky, reusable technical artifacts.
