# Chris Miles - Software Engineer and Founder

> I build software at Kode Health, a health-tech startup, and I founded Anomaly Labs, where I designed and shipped parry, an AI messaging assistant. I work mostly in Ruby on Rails and React, and I build AI-natively with coding agents and custom tooling. Based in the Seattle area.

## About

I'm a software engineer who builds things end to end, from the database to the design. I taught myself to code in 2020, online and from books, then made it real at a bootcamp in Columbus. I spent three years building real-time software for interactive city kiosks at Orange Barrel Media, and today I'm at Kode Health, building their medical-coding audit platform. Anomaly Labs is my own studio, and through it I took parry from a first idea all the way to the App Store. I'm based in the Seattle area.
