Summary

christopher budd

As an enthusiastic and dedicated Developer, I bring a diverse skill set and a passion for Full-Stack Development. With 13 and a half years of experience in E-commerce, I have honed my abilities in frontend development, ASP.Net MVC framework, continuous integration, continuous deployment and PCI compliance. My career goal is to be a trusted resource for any questions that arise to help and guide my coworkers or business users for them to succeed which will help the business grow. As well as keeping up to date on current and new technologies including when technologies are being depreciated being used in application(s) or web apps to prevent any security/vulnerabilities, leveraging my strengths to continue my growth as a developer so I can offer suggestions to help the company grow and mitigate any possible security issues.
