Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChriss Mejía is a founder and systems architect with 13 years of hands-on experience building production-grade web platforms and developer tools, now focused on Hatcher, an open-source AI-native IDE that restores deterministic control to developers. He scaled a Google-sponsored fintech, Unicoderns, to profitability and led large remote engineering practices at Gorilla Logic, blending product instincts with infrastructure rigor across Node.js, TypeScript, and Vue.js. Early work using Git as a decentralized store and translating foundational AI patents into PoCs speaks to his knack for unconventional architecture and client-side innovation. Chriss's approach—Controlled Amplification—treats AI as a high-precision scalpel rather than a black box, embodied in Hatcher’s Visual-to-Code DX engine and "Corporate Constitutions" for enterprise context. An active open-source contributor, he’s improved projects like dj-stripe (subscription and config features, tests, docs), demonstrating attention to quality across both UX and backend concerns. Based in Costa Rica, he builds in public and invites collaboration with visionary developers, partners, and investors.
