Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Haack is a freelance web developer with 12 years of experience building full‑stack applications, specializing in Ruby on Rails, React/TypeScript, and modern frontend tooling. He has shipped production systems for clients from top law firms to national organizations like the USGA, where he reduced app complexity and automated application pre-approvals. Comfortable working across the stack, he pairs backend Rails expertise (APIs, multi-tenancy, video processing) with frontend craftsmanship (React/Redux, Storybook, design tokens) and deployment workflows on Heroku and Azure DevOps. A lifelong learner who started in content and product roles at Google and media companies, he brings strong product sensibility and data-driven thinking to engineering decisions. Notably, he’s quick to adopt pragmatic technologies—introducing GraphQL at Gazelle and zero-runtime CSS at Capitol AI—to improve performance and developer velocity.
