Summary
Chris Gross is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of professional experience and a deep technical pedigree that started with assembly programming on IBM System/370 and evolved through Smalltalk, CORBA, Java/J2EE and modern JavaScript-based SOA. Based in Wädenswil, Switzerland, he now focuses on full-stack web development and embedded/cloud-enabled smart home platforms, authoring HomeKit, Homey and Docker-based gateway integrations such as cFlat and homebridge-digitalSTROM. His background in real-time financial systems and long-running integration platforms gives him a pragmatic edge in building resilient, production-grade IoT and automation solutions. Comfortable across low-level systems and high-level services, he blends legacy systems knowledge with contemporary containerization and microservice practices. A mentor and early adopter of networked applications, he brings an uncommon continuity from mainframe realtime code to modern smart-home ecosystems.
