Chris Butterworth

Chris likes to know how things work. He taught himself how to code, starting with HTML and CSS, then moving on to JavaScript and PHP. He became interested in PHP because of how efficient it is in web design, especially in managing large databases and data sets.

A few years ago, Chris read an article from Greenpeace about the effect of the internet on the environment. He was inspired to work towards a solution. He realised most emissions come from data, so he worked to make data sleeker using his PHP and front-end skills.

He is a generalist; he can do front-end and back-end development, but his main focus is always on sustainability.

Chris is a big picture thinker: always asking why, looking for connections, and working out what the impacts are.

Outside of work, Chris is studying for a master’s degree part-time (Interdisciplinary problems and methods). He loves music and collects guitars.
