Software Engineer
About Me
I'm Chris Shockley, a U.S. Navy veteran turned software developer with a passion for creating meaningful digital experiences.
My journey into tech wasn't traditional, but that's what makes it uniquely mine. From managing network systems in the Navy to building full-stack web applications, I've always been drawn to solving complex problems and helping people through technology.
What drives me isn't just writing code—it's the impact that code can have. Whether it's a nonprofit getting a website redesign at a hackathon or a user experiencing a seamless interface, I believe technology should serve people, not the other way around.
My Philosophy
I believe the best software is invisible—it just works, feels natural, and gets out of the way so users can focus on what matters to them.
I'm constantly learning, whether it's diving deep into new frameworks, contributing to open source, or exploring how emerging technologies can solve real-world problems.

Fascinated by the intersection of design and engineering. Good UX isn't just about looks—it's about understanding human behavior.
