Chris Geoghegan
Project Manager
Chris Geoghegan is a Project Manager and has been working with ImageX Media since it first started into web development in 2004. His undergrad was split between two years of Computer Engineering at the University of Victoria and three years in International Studies at Trinity Western University, with a short stint of traveling and living abroad in between. He’s looking forwarding to starting his MBA in Management of Technology part-time this fall at Simon Fraser University.
Chris’s earliest memories of programming begin at age 8, in front of a monochrome monitor, programming loops and if statements in QBasic. Over the years that skill set has grown to include a vast array of web technologies. However, the LAMP technologies have been the ones that he’s most passionate about. To sweeten the deal even further, he and co-worker Rick Vugteveen stumbled upon Drupal. Besides the fact that it is free, open-source, and insanely customizeable, Chris loves Drupal because of the exciting, dynamic community around it. “The great thing about Drupal is anyone can contribute. Even if you don’t know a stitch about programming or web development you can still contribute. It’s great to be part of something bigger than ourselves.”
For Chris, ImageX Media has been an exciting, fast paced adventure. He has loved watching the company grow and can’t wait to see what’s around the corner. He has always loved problem solving and working with people, but at ImageX is where he really learned his passion providing business solutions.
