Montreal, Quebec, Thailand
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKris Szabo is a hands-on technology leader and CEO with a decade of experience rescuing, optimizing, and hardening WordPress and full-stack web platforms. He built and scaled products from the ground up—leading technical strategy at R1Views and founding Pressive Web—specializing in hosting optimization, payment integrations, API work, and WooCommerce performance. Known as an “internet plumber,” he focuses on the unglamorous but revenue-critical work: emergency site recovery, long-term maintenance, and performance/security tuning. His background in GIS and cartography informs a pragmatic approach to mapping, data workflows, and geo-enabled product features. Comfortable diving into PHP, JavaScript, Python/Flask APIs, and databases, he often serves as a de facto CTO for non-technical founders who depend on their platforms. Based in Montreal with international experience, he blends startup grit with operational discipline to keep mission-critical sites online and selling.
