Hi! I'm Chris Wiegman

I'm a tech leader, mentor, blogger, and open-source contributor dedicated to building human-centered, privacy-focused technology. Over the past two decades, I've built everything from WordPress plugins to Chrome extensions, development environments, and developer tools; and now I lead the teams who build what comes next. A teacher at heart, I've lectured in aviation and computer science, mentored emerging technologists, and spoken at conferences worldwide. A former pilot turned software engineer, I remain passionate about ethical, sustainable technology and the people who create it.
