Summary
Chris Keen is a JavaScript architecture consultant and founder with 14+ years building high-traffic, performance-sensitive web applications and interactive mapping visualizations. He combines hands-on engineering—ESNext, Node/Hapi, React/Redux, GraphQL and tooling like Karma/Browserify—with architecture work for clients including Walmart Labs, Hilton and energy geo-visualization startups. A Mobile-First and progressive-enhancement advocate, he has a track record improving front-end performance at scale (AutoTrader, Weather.com) and delivering reliable APIs and migration projects. He also teaches and mentors regularly, contributed technical editing to a No Starch Press data visualization book, and has led small teams to refactor legacy UIs into modern JS stacks. Less obvious: he often pairs pragmatic automation (CI/CD, Docker, Liquibase) with deep client-side optimization rules inspired by Souders, making his solutions both fast and maintainable.
