Chris Hanson’s Summary

I dream up cool technological ideas and make them happen very efficiently. I have the job I dreamed of as a child growing up. Except for the part about building giant intergalactic fighting robots, but I'm working on that.

If there's a field or technology I don't have expertise in, I can absorb it and master it very rapidly. No bragging, I just do.

My personal hero is Antarctic Explorer Ernest Shackleton:
"For scientific leadership, give me Scott, for swift and efficient travel give me Amundsen. But when you are in a hopeless situation, when you are seeing no way out, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton. Incomparable in adversity, he was the miracle worker who would save your life against all the odds and long after your number was up. The greatest leader that ever came on God's earth, bar none." -Sir Raymond Priestley, a member of Shackleton's 1907-09 Nimrod Expedition.

Chris Hanson’s Education

University of Colorado at Denver

EE, minor in CS 1990 — 1990

Left school when I realized I ought to be teaching the Computer Science classes rather than paying to take them. Co-founded a software company that I operate today.
