Interested in working together? Send me a message! I’m always up for a virtual coffee or real coffee if you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area.

About Me

Hey there, I’m Chris Ferenci. My journey into the tech world kicked off way back in the rural suburbs of Central California, a world away from where I find myself today, navigating the ever-evolving tech scene.

My dive into entrepreneurship began when I co-founded Mobile First Studios, taking on the role of Creative Director. It was more than just a startup; it was a testing ground where I learned to lead diverse design teams and spearhead innovative projects.

Moving on from there, I took up leadership positions in product design at ESRI, focusing on iOS and Android apps. Here, I really got into the nitty-gritty of geospatial tech, working on user-friendly solutions that made complex tech accessible.

Next stop was TicketManager, where I started as the first designer and later took on the role of Design Strategist. I played a key part in revamping platforms and creating a custom design system, driving improvements in user experience across digital platforms.

During the COVID pandemic, I decided to dive back into academia at UC Berkeley. In their Master of Information Management and Systems program, I dived into geospatial data science and environmental research, focusing on building software systems for environmental data.

Nowadays, I'm a Senior Consultant in Deloitte’s Location Intelligence practice in San Francisco. I’m right in the thick of it, developing cutting-edge software products and researching areas like natural resource management and disaster relief. My mix of psychology, tech, and design know-how gives me a fresh perspective in software development and leadership, especially in fields where tech can make a real difference environmentally and socially.
