Hello, I'm Chris Wray. I'm a Software Engineer, Leader, and Manager with over 20 years of software development experience building great solutions for many high profile companies. Check out some of my past projects.
With my site running on GitHub Pages, I am using Jekyll to build out my site structure. With its variable and templating support, customizing the site has been easy. Here are some helpful tips I’ve noted along the way, which may be of use.
In XAML, the FlipView control is really handy for content rendering. Out of the box, you get support for virtualization. For example, when binding a collection of 100 items to a FlipView, the control won’t build out 100 pages of controls. Instead, only a “window” will be rendered (typically the current item, along with the previous and next item). While this is great for performance and optimization when binding to a large collection, issues can arise.
I've worked on some diverse projects and technologies over the years for multiple high profile companies. Here are some examples.
Helped create streaming media apps for multiple high profile companies on Xbox and PlayStation devices.
Developed workflow based solutions that ensured compliance to State and local laws.
Architected an enterprise software solution spanning 4 companies in multiple offices across numerous States from Alaska to Hawaii. Scaled up using Discovery, Distrubuted Caching, an Enterprise Service Bus, and real-time notifications.
Created multiple large scale E-Commerce Websites and a platform for shared services and content management.
Was the Architect for an Online Multiplayer Game serving a large user base, while designing the next phase of the platform using SOA and a Distributed Architecture.
