Chris Cawley
Software Engineer. Entrepreneur. Founder of Development House Inc.
I've spent my career building software, improving systems, and solving complex engineering problems. My experience spans organizations in multiple industries, from higher education and biotechnology to energy and commercial printing.
Professional Summary
Fourteen years of software engineering experience.
I began my professional software engineering career in 2012 and have held senior engineering responsibilities since 2018. My work has included application development, backend architecture, infrastructure, software security, and engineering delivery processes.
I started in a design-oriented role working with CSS and JavaScript before moving into backend development with Java. Over time, my responsibilities expanded into designing and maintaining larger systems, improving engineering practices, and contributing to technical decisions across organizations.
Today, I run Development House Inc., where I apply that experience to independent products and client engineering projects. My focus is on creating useful technology that expands opportunity.
