Chris Nowak

Chris is senior developer at Elexicon, joining the team in January of 2006. His skill set is shaped around web and mobile development, where he has a wide range of expertise in designing and building applications. He can take a project through the UI/UX design stages, design a database (in MySQL or SQL Server), develop the back-end (using the latest ASP .NET C# MVC framework, or a CMS), create the front-end (with HTML/CSS/Javascript), and manage client communications. Additionally, he has designed and developed applications for the iPad and iPhone using both Objective-C and HTML5.

Chris graduated as a member of the Honors College from Grand Valley State University with a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics. During his senior year, he was recognized as an outstanding senior by the school of computing and information systems at Grand Valley. After working at a few "single-skill" jobs in the industry, he decided he wanted to expand his skill set and have a career with more variety, which is exactly what he has been able to do at Elexicon.

Chris is based in Ann Arbor and usually can be found at Workantile Exchange (link: http://workantileexchange.com), a co-working space and community in the heart of downtown. He enjoys rock climbing, and recently got certified for scuba diving but unfortunately has not found any sunken treasure (yet!).
