Product and AI
AI-enabled experiences, technical strategy, rapid prototyping, automation, and product development.
The Fullest Stack
Creative instinct. Engineering depth.
AI-forward execution.
I'm Chris Kirby—a creative technologist and full-stack developer with 25 years of experience turning ambitious ideas into distinctive digital products.
From art direction and experience design to back-end systems and AI, I can take a product from an undefined idea to a production-ready reality.
Need someone who can take ownership of the whole thing? Let's talk.
Capabilities
I build the
whole idea.
I've worked as an art director, designer, full-stack developer, back-end programmer, systems analyst, accessibility specialist, and development leader.
That range lets me connect the decisions other people handle separately—strategy, design, interaction, architecture, and code—into one coherent product.
Give me the problem. I'll help define the solution and build it.
How I Work
Building for the AI era
AI is changing what software can do—and what one experienced builder can accomplish.
My current work combines AI with product thinking, custom interfaces, automation, and production engineering. I'm interested in creating genuinely useful AI experiences, not adding an “AI-powered” label to an ordinary product.
I bring the imagination to explore what is newly possible and the experience to turn it into dependable software.
What I bring
Full-stack engineering
Custom applications, APIs, real-time systems, databases, integrations, interfaces, and deployment.
Creative direction
UI/UX, branding, illustration, animation, interaction design, and visual storytelling.
Technical leadership
End-to-end ownership, system planning, documentation, accessibility, and team leadership.
This site is part of the proof.
Every interactive script on this portfolio was written by me. No third-party, prewritten JavaScript powers the experience.
The site makes use of Juice.js, my growing collection of custom JavaScript tools available on GitHub.
No generic template. No pile of plug-ins. Just original design and purpose-built code.

Let’s build what comes next.
I’m looking for senior, lead, and project opportunities where creative judgment, technical depth, and AI-forward thinking matter.
If you need someone who can see the larger opportunity and still own the details required to deliver it, let’s talk.
Bring me the challenge. I’ll build the path forward.
