Chris Wanless is a Principal Software Engineer at Charles River Development. Colleagues describe them as "Chris is an integral member of the FIX team at Charles River. Not only does he possess an in-depth knowlege of the FIX protocol, various FIX engines, Charles River, and Java, but he's also quite knowledgeable on the business side as well. He often filled in for the business analysts when putting together plans for new features and acted as a lead engineer on the FIX team. He's one of the best engineers I've worked with in his ability to quickly see any issues or weakness with a design or piece of code." and "Chris is a great asset to Charles River. He is a fine developer who genuinely cares about bettering FIX-related workflows. He is fun to work with (he has a great sense of humor) and is always willing to help us with FIX-related issues and questions. Chris has singlehandedly refined the design and configuration required for unsolicited FIX executions, as well as all of the algorthmic interfaces."
