Summary
👤
SeniorChristopher Painter is a Staff Software Engineer and entrepreneur with over two decades of hands-on experience in systems, software, and deployment engineering, now mentoring a team building internal EUC tools at The Home Depot. He specializes in Windows Installer technologies (InstallShield, WiX), .NET development (C#, WPF, WebAPI, Blazor) and Azure DevOps, and has a track record of creating build/install tooling for high-volume, multi-baseline environments. As founder of ISWIX he provides expert setup and integration services and is the author of IsWiX, reflecting a deep, practitioner-level knowledge of installer internals that many peers lack.

Outside tech he applies systems thinking to hands-on roles—from managing Starlink/UniFi networks on a liveaboard dive boat to serving as a university professional—demonstrating practical problem solving in varied, real-world environments.
