Hi there! I’m Christopher.
I’m a Front End Developer, an avid comic book reader, and a proud cat-dad. 🐈

I’m the former (only) web developer for the City of Oakland and am passionate about all things about tech in government. I believe that accessibility is not limited to making things work for disabled people like myself, but also for ensuring all people have equitable access to their government and public services, regardless of disability, socioeconomic status, or anything else.

Making the web work for everyone is important to me, and I hope it’s just as important to you.
