Chris Dirks

Hi, I'm Chris — a full stack developer expanding into machine learning. I love bringing ideas to life through clean interfaces, thoughtful architecture, and interactive user experiences. My background spans frontend frameworks, backend development, and building real projects across the MERN stack, and now I'm applying that same curiosity and discipline to ML and AI technologies.

Outside of coding, I travel as a petsitter, exploring new places while caring for animals. This lifestyle has shaped how I work: adaptable, calm under pressure, and always learning. Whether I'm building a new app, leveling up my ML skills, or dreaming up my future non-profit animal sanctuary, I'm driven by growth, creativity, and making meaningful contributions through tech.
