Chris Devers has spent the last twenty years helping people get the most out of computers, so that they can spend their time on more important things, helping development teams focus their efforts on delivering software that solves real problems for real people. He lives in Somerville, Massachusetts with his wife, sons, and cat, and would usually rather be taking photos and bike rides.
