Kris McGinnes
Engineer & Designer
Since the start of my career in 2007, I have had the privilege to work with large and small companies all aiming to enrich people’s lives with thoughtfully crafted products.
I most enjoy building software at the intersection of design and engineering - things that look good but are also built well under the hood.
When I’m not at the computer I’m usually brewing coffee, watching movies, hanging out with my wife and dog, or out walking around the city.
