Chris Chedgzoy is a veteran software developer, now semi-retired, whose career spans more than four decades. Since the early 1980s, he has designed, architected and implemented mission-critical systems for major e-commerce brands, manufacturing operations and telecommunications providers.
Proficient in C#, C, classic ASP, JavaScript, jQuery and SQL, Chris has a proven track record of translating complex requirements into stable, high-performance applications.
Throughout his tenure, Chris has led development teams of various sizes—from solo projects to distributed teams exceeding a dozen engineers. He has overseen the full software lifecycle: gathering requirements, writing specifications, managing version control, conducting code reviews and ensuring rigorous testing. His emphasis on clean architecture and maintainable code has resulted in systems that remain in active use long after their initial release.
A firm believer in sharing knowledge, Chris offers a portfolio of lightweight utilities that address everyday developer needs. Although these tools are offered without formal support, they have garnered positive feedback for their simplicity and reliability. He actively engages in technical forums, providing guidance on optimisation techniques, debugging strategies and best practices.
When he isn’t immersed in code, Chris mentors aspiring programmers on a one-to-one basis. Now semi-retired, he is gradually scaling back his workload while remaining available for select consulting engagements and occasional utility development. He is also excited about the possibilities of artificial intelligence, currently experimenting with its capabilities and exploring how it can enhance software solutions.
