Christopher has progressed from software testing and frontend work to leading mission-critical security efforts, demonstrating both technical depth and operational leadership. Based in Aldie, Virginia, he’s effective at translating developer workflows into auditable, secure outcomes and has a track record of taking on extra responsibility to maintain continuity during team transitions.
