Independent products, a company I co-founded, and the commercial work that came before them.
01 / INDEPENDENT PRODUCT
Rost
Events without the friction.
A sports community platform connecting players with hosts, shaped by years of organizing badminton games myself. Players RSVP with nothing more than a name and phone number, while hosts manage recurring schedules, attendance, and automatic waitlists. The aim is to bring sign-ups straight into WhatsApp and other group chats, with no separate app.
A genetic counselling service helping families navigate genetic testing and reproductive risks, with services in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. I co-founded GeneFlou and developed its website.
Before GeneFlou and Rost, I was a frontend developer building customer-facing websites, apps, and e-commerce features, working with clients to understand their needs and define business requirements.

Light, movement, and the details that make a place feel like itself.

The person behind the work.
CHRISTOPHER J. CHAN
I’m a developer and co-founder of GeneFlou. My work spans independent products and commercial projects, with a focus on building things people can use. My background in economics, sociology, and biopsychology shapes how I think about the people using them.
Photography makes me pay attention. Badminton, tennis, and bowling keep me learning. I enjoy understanding how something works, then seeing how far I can take it.
