Chris Porter

About

'm a design engineer with 20 years of experience building websites and MVPs for small businesses and startups. I started my journey in the early 2000s while growing up in poverty, teaching myself design and code on a dial-up connection. I took on freelance work early to survive, which forced me to learn fast and deliver results without resources or support. That background shaped how I work today: lean, efficient, and focused on systems that scale. Over the years, I've worked across industries like eCommerce, SaaS, and media, usually as a solo operator or fractional team member. My strength is taking rough ideas and turning them into functional products that actually ship.
