Hello, I'm Kris Gösser.
I've been managing products and designing interfaces at HarQen in Milwaukee since 2007.
Web Presence: Journal LinkedIn Dribbble
I recently married my best friend, Rena. We have a lot in common. The Venn diagram of music interests is pretty similar, though my favorite music is Four Tet and hers The Smashing Pumpkins. We share a love for sports, travel, and gardening.
I'm interested in design, technology, economics, maps, communications, music, spy thrillers, chess, cooking, and fly fishing. I serve on an advisory board at Carroll University to help enhance the art and design programs there. Periodically I mentor veteran entreprenuers with the wonderful oganization Vetransfer.
At HarQen I design interfaces and lead front-end development. I'm also responsible for managing and directing our two primary products, Voice Advantage, which received the "Top HR Product of 2010" award from HR Executive magazine, and Symposia.
I have led or supported the following projects:
Dayda — A tiny daily data tracking application. Delightfully simple data input combined with gorgeous charts. Built on Python/Django/Postgres/Heroku with Matt Stockton and Jesse Vogt.
