Senior Software Engineer

Building business applications, integrations, and content platforms.

I’m Christopher Goehrs, a Milwaukee-based full-stack engineer. For more than a decade, I’ve built business applications across multiple back-end and front-end stacks while collaborating with distributed teams.

Positioning

Hands-on engineering for business applications.

I focus on writing clean, maintainable code and building robust architectures that solve real business problems.

Full-Stack Engineering

I build and maintain backend, frontend, CMS, database, and integration systems with a clear focus on business results.

Pragmatic Delivery

I use CI/CD, documentation, and AI-assisted workflows to move faster, while keeping review and accountability in place.

Collaborative Lead

I coordinate with developers, perform code reviews, and help shape technical direction to keep projects moving forward.

Professional

Custom Ecommerce Platform

WordPress was a hard client requirement, but the catalog and pricing rules went well beyond what off-the-shelf store plugins could handle. I built the commerce layer directly in PHP so the business rules drove the code, instead of forcing the business to fit a plugin.

  • WordPress
  • Custom ecommerce

CI/CD Workflow Standardization

Every developer deployed a little differently, which made releases slow and easy to get wrong. I introduced a shared CI/CD workflow so deploying became a repeatable step instead of a per-person ritual.

  • GitHub Actions
  • Azure
  • CI/CD
  • Team process

Professional

Custom .NET + Kentico MVC Platform

The client workflows did not fit Kentico standard page models or its storage assumptions. Rather than bend the business to the CMS, I extended Kentico MVC and built custom data-storage interfaces so the platform matched how the business actually worked.

  • .NET
  • Kentico MVC
  • SQL Server
  • Custom integrations

AI-Assisted Development

AI helps me move faster, but it does not make decisions for me.

Where I lean on AI, where I don’t, and the bar every output has to clear before it ships.
