I'm Chris Pirillo. For thirty years I've hosted the events, built the software, created the content, and grown the communities — often all at once. Here's the full toolkit, on one page.
Most teams hire three or four people for this range. I've spent three decades doing all of it, in public, and I'm still shipping every single day.
Keynotes, panels, product launches, awards — plus my own monthly ctrl+alt+create live. I read a room and a run-of-show, keep the energy up, and make every guest look great.
ctrlaltcreate.liveVideo, articles, newsletters, social — across every format and platform. I've been making content that actually lands since the early web, and I know what travels.
Building and guiding communities people actually want to be in. My rule, learned the hard way: community can't be controlled — only guided.

Turning ideas into shipped software by describing them to AI. 300+ free apps built and given away — and I teach non-coders and teams to do the same.

makerdeck.netFounder's instinct, proven. I built LockerGnome in 1996 and ran the Gnomedex conference for a decade — I know how to start a thing and make it matter.
One person, full stack. I ship products end-to-end — web apps, native iOS & Android, custom fonts — from idea and design to launch, on my own.

Hands-on workshops that get non-technical people — and whole teams — building real software with AI. If I can do it, I can get your people doing it too.
When you do need a webinar run right — sponsor-aligned prep, confident hosting, and pacing that earns renewals. One more tool in the kit, not the whole pitch.

The real-world impact, straight from people and companies I've worked with.
When I think of innovation, entertainment, and community, I immediately think of Chris Pirillo. Early adoption of streaming video before it was cool. A talented influencer before we heard the word. Prolific people-connector with his conferences, events, and online communities.
Chris is great! He is very sharp and creative. He is great at brainstorming, analyzing systems, and problem solving. He can then very quickly digest a situation and propose action plans. I would highly recommend Chris on a wide variety of challenges.
Our company has been working on a SaaS offering for Twitch users. Chris was recommended to us through a mutual colleague. Hiring him as a consultant was extremely fruitful. His perspective as a veteran streamer and content creator has been invaluable.
It was an honor to work with Chris, and I always admired his crazy creative skills and energy, which propelled us quickly to develop a polished and fun product. I am sure he will be a great evangelist and influencer for any team trying to build an ecosystem.
Chris is an advisor to the project that I am a part of. His inputs and insights have always helped the tech folks including me to see a different picture and fine-tune our approach to the problems.
Chris Pirillo is a visionary and futurist who thinks with a compassionate heart for communities. He's the rare mix of someone completely brilliant who you can also laugh with — and who deeply considers the position and needs of others.
No agency layer, no account managers, no handoffs. You talk to me, and I'm the one who delivers.
The range most teams split across three or four hires — host, builder, creator, community lead — in a single person who's done it for decades.
This isn't a résumé of past glories. I build, stream, and create every day — current with the tools, the platforms, and the audience right now.
Talk to me, not a layer of middlemen. Clear communication, quick turnarounds, and someone genuinely invested in the outcome.
A combined following in the hundreds of thousands across platforms — reach and community come built in, not as an afterthought.
Tell me about the event, the launch, the community, or the build. I'll tell you exactly how I'd help.
Open to freelance, contract, part-time, or full-time.
