CHRIS JACKSON

I had the pleasure of working with Chris during his time as Lead Software Engineer at GolfNow, where he consistently exceeded expectations in both technical delivery and leadership.

Chris architected and led the development of cloud-based solutions that transformed operations for hundreds of golf courses nationwide. His deep understanding of the golf industry enabled him to build AWS infrastructure that handled millions of monthly transactions while his team delivered innovative reservation systems and course management tools that significantly increased partner revenue.

What makes Chris exceptional is his rare combination of technical expertise and golf industry knowledge. He seamlessly translated complex operational needs of golf courses into elegant solutions, implemented agile methodologies that accelerated delivery, and built intuitive applications that enhanced the experience for both golf course operators and golfers.

As a leader at GolfNow, Chris mentored developers, fostered innovation, and maintained excellent communication with both technical teams and golf industry stakeholders. His strategic thinking and results-driven approach made him invaluable to our organization.

I would jump at the chance to work with Chris again and strongly recommend him for any software engineering leadership role, especially in the golf or sports technology sector.

Chris Jackson is one of the most gifted engineers I've had the privilege and pleasure to work with in my career.

He was always the one I turned to with any question about the latest technical trends and new technologies (in web development, those are ever-shifting), and he always had a detailed and enormously useful answer. He keeps up, stays in the know, and has a true passion for learning and growing in the profession.

Mr. Jackson is highly adept at team building and remediation. I've never once heard him tell someone their approach is "wrong." Rather, he provides alternatives – in deep detail if necessary – always leaving the choice of direction with the team as a whole. He never tries to dictate decision or control the narrative.

He is a mentor, a life-learner, and truly present as a technical engineer who interfaces extremely well with others, and he is an expert in his areas of expertise, whom I have turned to more than once for advice and insight.

If you have a chance to hire Chris Jackson, I recommend him with fervor. I would work with him again without hesitation or reservation.

As a QA, I've worked with Chris Jackson for several years. Chris stands out for his exceptional professionalism, technical skills, and collaborative mindset. He consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of both the codebase and the user impact, which made testing more efficient and communication seamless.

One of the qualities I appreciated most was his responsiveness and openness to feedback. He treated QA input not as criticism, but as an essential part of building high-quality software. Whether we were triaging bugs under tight deadlines or reviewing edge-case scenarios, Chris was always engaged, proactive, and solution-oriented. He took the time to investigate root causes thoroughly and often went beyond just fixing issues but aimed to prevent them.

I strongly recommend Chris for any development role where technical excellence, accountability, and collaborative spirit are valued. He would be an asset to any team.

Working with Chris at RMR was a great experience. He's an extremely knowledgeable developer and a great person to bounce ideas off of or ask for feedback from.

Christopher "Chris" Jackson is a very well spoken and intelligent developer with a diverse technological background. He is well-versed in several technologies and strategies and is fully capable of teaching his skills to the rest of the team. He is very presentable with a strong verbal skill set and is a pleasure to work with.
