Summary
Chris Jaros is a hands-on IT professional with nine years of experience supporting retail technology and field systems, currently serving as Dispatch Coordinator at Retail Technology Group. His career grew from frontline cafe roles into technical support and field analysis at Panera, where his blend of practical operations knowledge and programming training let him bridge store workflows and backend systems. A LaunchCode alum with unfinished computer science studies at UMSL and STLCC, he pairs logical problem-solving with real-world troubleshooting skills born from an early passion for hardware and games. Colleagues rely on him for fast, empathetic help-desk resolution and for translating technical issues into operational fixes. Now pursuing readmission to complete his degree, he’s seeking the next IT or programming role that leverages both his customer-facing experience and technical curiosity. An uncommon strength is his hands-on insight into both user-side systems and the support processes that keep them running in high-volume retail environments.
