Christopher in a few words
Since 2015 I've remotely managed the discovery, design and development of well over 100 software products across a wide range of industries, company stages, geographies and technologies.
Previously, I co-founded a crowdfunding platform for teachers to fund projects in their classrooms, which funded materials for 8000+ students in Mexico in 2018-19 (Da-Mas.org), an award-winning education technology startup which was active in Lesotho & Chile 2013-15 (Sterio.me), and a non-profit which organized hackathons on buses across 16 countries on the African continent 2013-15 (StartupBus Africa / Ampion).
See my LinkedIn (20+ references) and Toptal profile: (3+ projects) for reference.
