Top SchoolChris Hayes is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack web and mobile products, currently at Quo after a string of impact-driven roles focused on platform and product engineering. He’s led cross-functional teams, spun out and scaled Conneq into an acquisition, and delivered high-visibility systems for Google including automated work-order and AV inspection workflows. Pragmatic and hands-on, Chris has modernized legacy frontends, improved developer experience with Docker and CI/CD, and prototyped RAG-based AI tooling to accelerate RFP responses. His background in psychology gives him a distinctive edge in user-centered design and stakeholder research, which he applies when observing frontline users and refining product workflows. Equally comfortable shipping production APIs, mobile apps, and React frontends, he favors pragmatic tool choices like Retool and Ionic to move fast and demonstrate value. An eternal learner and former freelance founder, he blends technical depth with business acumen and a proven record of converting prototypes into revenue-generating products.
