My Story (Abridged)

Hey, I’m Christian Skala – a software engineering manager with hands-on experience based in New York. I have an extensive background in project management, branding, graphic design, web design, web development, maintaining servers, security and optimizing high-traffic web sites.
In 2001 I was granted the title Professional Engineer for Communications Engineering and Information Technology by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, and earned my Masters in Computer Science from Vienna University of Technology.

My skills and knowledge are very interdisciplinary and have given me unique insight and experience when working with designers, development teams, agencies and their clients. I have proficiency and experience in various programming languages and technologies and will help enhance the functional and technical aspects of products. I’m a generalist who sits between creative, strategy, product and technical execution.

I assess risk and opportunity, organize and synchronize requirements, do hands-on coding while driving a product forward. Recently, I worked on my portfolio — see the work section for examples.
