My name is Chris Hecht and I am a software developer, analyst, architect, and manager.
I was born in Park Ridge, IL, and grew up in Arlington Heights where I attended St. James Grade School and Junior High. From there I went to John Hersey High School where I graduated in 1992, and then the University of Iowa.
After graduating from the University of Iowa in 1996, with a BA in Journalism and Mass Communication and a BA in Communication Studies, I became involved in Web development and then software development. In March of 2006 I received my MS in Information Systems from DePaul University.
I am proficient in ASP.NET, C#, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, SQL, SQL Server, and VB.NET. Along with these technical skills, I am able to analyze, adapt to, and be effective in new situations and am strong at bridging the technical and business worlds. I feel I have a natural ability for writing, communicating, organizing, and moving initiatives forward.
I am currently an Applications and Database Supervisor at a large global law firm.
In 2008, I began CH Consulting, LLC which I do freelance work through. This has strengthened all of my skills including the ins and outs of running a business.
