Port Jump Development was founded sometime in 1999 when co-founders Peter Yagmin and Chris Hendrix were discussing one of which would be many projects the two would
endeavor upon.
At the time, the idea was that Port Jump would be a 'portal' (think dmoz crossed with Yahoo!) and that you would 'jump' to other sites from here, or at least that was the excuse Chris made for the snazzy 90's dot com start-up name
of Port Jump.
Some pages of the history have been lost, but shortly there after it simply became a portfolio for Peter and a
pseudo-partnership with Chris for them to collaborate on projects together.

strengths, and what makes us tick!

Chris Hendrix,
Senior Consultant & co-founder
Chris has been professionally programming for 20 years. He
is a creative and out-of-the-box project manager who enjoys
solving puzzles to makes the lives of his clients easier in
their day-to-day tasks.
He would rather make a web design work rather than design the
website and believes that good coding should be invisible and
allow the beauty of the web site to shine through. Chris no
longer programs desktop applications but he does enjoy building
robust applications powered by the Internet.
Chris is experienced in project management, technical
documentation, outsource team management, business model
planning, marketing strategy development, and deep metric
analytics.
Chris currently programs in ASP 3.0 and python on django and has
comprehensive knowledge of both MSSQL and MySQL database
systems.
He resides outside of Knoxville, TN., and graduated from the
University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 1993 with a B.S. in
Transportation and Logistics. For the past 13 years, Chris has
operated his own inventory and sales consultation business at
www.skuflow.com
For the record, we have nothing to do with the 'Porta Jump' starter thingy but we're sure it's probably a fine product. We wonder what their excuse is for the name! ;-)
