About Me

I'm Christian Chester, an experienced Technology consultant with an emphasis in eCommerce & Web Technology. Over the past 9 years, I've performed as an eCommerce Business Analyst, with more than 6 of those years as a consultant for large enterprise brands.

 

With an educational background in Computer Information Systems,  I've always possessed the ability to understand the needs of a business, while also being able to communicate and execute those needs with technical teams. 

 

My project work includes driving revenue growth through platform enhancements and major platform implementations and upgrades. The fast-paced environment that these large projects require has allowed me to leverage and sharpen my technical business skills and provide prescriptive direction by analyzing customer data and trends.

In recent years, my holistic experience within projects has provided me with the skills to expand and offer web & digital content consultation services for small businesses looking to mature their digital footprint. My agency services include website hosting, development, search engine optimization, as well as digital content services for both written and visual content such as brand & product photography.
