Profile bio
About Chris Jelly
Chris Jelly is a Technologist at MirrorTab. He possess expertise in java, python, coffeescript, javascript, final cut pro and 34 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Chris is a software engineer / architect and technical leader par excellence. I've worked with Chris for almost two years, and am still regularly surprised at how quickly and effortlessly he can reduce a technical problem to its kernel and chart a path forward. Chris is a highly skilled implementer, getting things done under tight deadlines. He also brings a razor sharp wit to business problems, where he uses exceptional organizational skills and systems thinking to consider problems holistically, and arrive at quick-to-implement solutions. Chris oversaw Edmit's tech from the beginning, starting with early app concepts and moving towards a seasoned, scalable infrastructure that enables quick implementation and iteration. As he built Edmit's tech, Chris also built an engineering team (and culture) that is collegial, driven, and highly responsive to the needs of the business. In the time it took you to read this paragraph, Chris could have taken an engineering idea and MVP'd it in Kotlin. Do you need someone to build something awesome, as well as the team around it? Look no further.", "I've been working closely with Chris and his engineering team to build new user facing functionality at Edmit. Chris's broad knowledge of development coupled with understanding business goals and adding his own creative input, makes him all the more valuable. While working together, Chris has been a very easy-going person to work with and always willing to help everybody on the team. I also have been really impressed with Chris's ability to deliver and build quickly - while still meeting the highest standards. He makes things happen!", and "It is rare that you come across a person like Chris Jelly. In the week that I have known him, he has proven himself to be a very innovative internet troll and self-motivated trivia player. He has accomplished many things such as effectively connecting with me on several apps including but not limited to Strava, LinkedIn, and Instagram, as well as letting me know that JavaScript is hot now. If that wasn't enough, Chris has a sort of je ne sais quoi about him- his looks are that of Jack Black but his words are as smooth as the Dos Equis man, the most interesting man in the world. I would be happy to recommend Chris for any position in the future as I am confident in his capabilities as an employee, mentor, and pal."
Listed skills include Java, Python, Coffeescript, Javascript, and 35 others.

Founding Donor
CurrentI seeded funds for a new initiative at Northeastern that provides no-strings-attached cash grants (i.e., no debt or equity or moral obligations) to students with unique, self-directed ideas that are related to computer science in some way. In collaboration with the Khoury College fundraising team and central University advancement, we also sought donations from other University constituents, including parents and staff, which enabled us to give over $20k in project money to students and student orgs in 2020. I developed a partnership with Amazon such that each grantee automatically receives an additional $5k in AWS credits via AWS Activate.
