Chris Giametta is a principal architect and author of Pro Flex on Spring. He has been responsible for overseeing application development primarily with Adobe Flex and Spring. Of course, being an architect involves much more than just programming languages and software frameworks. Over his career, Chris has developed systems that require a complete knowledge of hardware and software architecture at the systems and enterprise level.

Chris is an Adobe Certified Expert in Adobe Flex. He was been working with Flex and Spring since 2004. Before learning Flex and Spring, he cut his teeth developing customer relationship management (CRM) systems built with Java on the front end, and a C++ implementation on the server side.

Chris graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi, and now resides in the Dallas area with his wife and two children.
