Step Christopher

Step Christopher has travelled the world. First in a submarine, doing the job that inspired the character of Homer Simson. Nuclear Reactors never looked so fun! Next in the air, fixing lasers and teaching people not to shoot their eyes out. Embedded QNX and DOS were among his first outings as a self-taught programmer. Now as a trainer for Big Nerd Ranch, where his compassion and patience come in handy as he helps pack mountains of knowledge into week-long courses. He started his career at the lowest levels of hardware and mechanics, and slowly worked his way up the software stack. He's decided he likes it much better at a reasonable leaky abstraction level. A sometime writer, engineer, tester, and customer service pro - but always a creator - he and his wife tackle problems and try to make the world a better place.
