Chris Maunder

If you're in a rush:

  • Built CodeProject.com from the ground up. 25 years, 16M members, 65,000 articles, billions of emails sent. At our peek we were in the top 1,000 sites in the world by traffic. I know how to plan, build, manage and maintain high load, high availability sites on a shoestring budget.
  • Built CodeProject.AI, our edge-AI solution for providing an app-store style service for disparate AI projects for use in-network AI applications. Over 1 million downloads and Docker image pulls.
  • Full stack developer specialising in C#, Javascript/Typescript, SQL, HTML, Python, C++. Latest focus is Artificial Intelligence, edge and hosted. Always looking to learn more.
  • Highly organised with a passion for Product Development and Product Management.
  • Excellent communicator, hundreds of articles published, lead teams for decades, provided product training for dozens of sales reps, presented in the US and Europe on marketing and community building. Able to convert complexity into understanding.
  • Seeded, nurtured and managed the CodeProject community - one of the most supportive, self-managed communities you will find. That's a lot of kittens to herd.
  • Focussed on the goal, not on the buzzwords. I live to get the product out the door.
  • Excellent in client meetings and can be trusted not to need adult supervision. The friendships I've built I will cherish forever.

To provide value, leadership, experience and a ton of productivity to an organisation that’s making a difference. To work with good, smart, fun, passionate people who don’t take themselves too seriously. No job too intimidating, no job too humble. In the end it’s about the game, not the scorecard.
