About chrisbuchino

I'm Chris Buchino, a software architect and young entrepreneur. I've been in software engineering and management for 10 years and am passionate (borderline obsessed) with elegant software design. I love the craft of software creation and solving its many challenges, both technical and non-technical.

More recently, I've been really into web startups. I launched my first startup in 2010, skilltesting.com, and will be starting other ventures in the future for sure. There is nothing like starting a company, it's a ridiculously amazing experience.

    Great explanation. When I was drinking 10+ cups of coffee/day, I was not only not feeling perked up (pun indented) but more tired. I guess I was producing way too much andenosine.
