Chris Beauchamp
Full-Stack Product Developer & Founder
When my first iOS app (a guitar teaching tool) landed in the top 25 of the App Store, I got hooked on product development. 10 years later, I've created a number of apps, worked on large-scale data platforms, led multinational product and engineering teams, spoken at conferences, and everything in between.
Originally from Florida, I moved to the Bay Area after college and now reside in the suburbs of Philadelphia with my fiancée and our dog Kalu. You'll find us snowboarding in the winter months and golfing through the summer. Outside of my day job, I enjoy building personal projects and taking them to market.
