About

Chris Hogan

I'm Chris Hogan, a Systems Architect, Automation Engineer, and Founder focused on building software, automation systems, and digital products.

My career began in enterprise IT and network operations, where I worked across service desk, systems administration, and infrastructure teams supporting large-scale government environments. Over time, I specialized in automation, collaboration platforms, and business process optimization, helping organizations streamline operations through SharePoint, Power Platform, workflow automation, and modern cloud technologies.

Today, I work at the intersection of enterprise systems and software development. Professionally, I've designed and implemented solutions that improve visibility, reduce manual effort, and enable teams to operate more efficiently. Personally, I enjoy building products from the ground up, exploring new technologies, and creating software that solves meaningful problems.

In 2026, I completed a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Western Governors University, further strengthening my foundation in software engineering, algorithms, data structures, machine learning, and systems design.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, photography, fitness, investing, and studying how technology can improve decision-making. Many of the images featured throughout this website were captured during travels across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and beyond while building my career and pursuing new ideas.

This site serves as a collection of projects, experiments, and products that reflect both my professional experience and personal interests.
