Chris McCormick

Founder & Senior Director

I started Glass Walker Development because I kept seeing the same problem: companies drowning in data but starving for answers. Expensive enterprise platforms that nobody used. Developer time wasted pulling one-off reports. Dashboards that told you what happened last month but not why.

With a background spanning tech, finance, and marketing, I bring a unique perspective to data work. I don't just build pipelines — I understand the business questions those pipelines need to answer.

I specialize in the Google Cloud ecosystem, particularly BigQuery, Dataform, dbt, and Looker. More recently, I've been building AI-powered applications that help companies automate complex workflows and extract intelligence from their data in ways that weren't possible a few years ago.

Glass Walker Development is a woman-owned business based in Lynnwood, WA. I work with companies of all sizes, but I have a particular soft spot for startups and growth-stage companies where good data can be a real competitive advantage.

How I work

What you can expect

No fluff, just results

I skip the slide decks and strategy theater. You get working code, documented pipelines, and dashboards your team actually uses.

Built to last

I write clean, tested, well-documented code. When the project wraps, your team can maintain and extend everything I built.

Startup speed

I've worked in startups. I understand the pressure to ship fast without cutting corners on data quality.

Full transparency

Regular check-ins, clear timelines, and no surprises. You'll always know where things stand.
