Meet the Team - Chris Stead

I am a UI/Javascript engineer and team lead, and hard-core geek. I help make things and make things better. I work with other members of my team to ensure they produce the best work they can. I also provide (hopefully) useful information about current development practices and upcoming changes in the development landscape.

Without a doubt, my favorite part of Events.com is the people. People make or break a company and define whether a company is awesome, or just another burnout shop, and Events.com has a magic mix.

I spend my weekends doing a whole mix of things. I'm a huge music fan and I like going to see a local show. I also write a lot of code and prepare for some of  the various development-related groups I meet with throughout the week. I also spend a good amount of time hanging out with my wife and our two dogs.

It would have to be one of two things. Either I would like to have been there as Brendan Eich did a mad sprint over a week to create Javascript, or I would have liked to have seen Alan Turing create the computer which cracked Enigma.
