“Chris is a dedicated and enthusiastic person. His thirst for knowledge and understanding systems whilst working with me were inspiring. He was always keen to understand the problem and work to resolve it at the root cause. This is a skill that came naturally to Chris that has to be trained into many people. I would like to work with Chris again in the future. It is hard to find people that have the natural ability to just learn IT systems fast regardless of the platform, application or complexity.”

Exactly 1 year before WhatsApp, and a year before iMessage added Encryption. Facebook Messenger was still 2 years away and most other chat apps you're thinking off even longer.
Open Group Chat was ahead of it's time. -
