Chris Hartjes Mozilla

Chris Hartjes has worked on web applications of all shapes and sizes since 1998, ranging from catalogs of CD compilations for professional DJs to portal pages for large US cable television providers. Chris gives back to the programming communities that have helped him by mentoring, speaking at conferences, and by organizing conferences. As the author of two books on writing testable PHP code and using testing tools, he believes testing and automation are secret weapons organizations can use to deliver high-quality applications quickly.

Monday to Thursday he works for Mozilla testing web services the Firefox browser talks to. On Fridays he works on expanding his Grumpy Learning info-product empire. In the evening he gets yelled at by his wife for playing with his phone too much.

He works from his basement office in the snowy wilds of Canada.
