Meet the founder
Chris Tickner
Founder & Lead Engineer
20+ years building software. 4 years leading product at Carb Manager and Poker Atlas. A business degree in Finance & Economics. I started coding in middle school, and today I run Kavoren from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I'm the rare founder who can whiteboard your roadmap and ship the code myself—no handoff friction, no lost context.

I came to Chris with an ambitious idea: a social network with real-time messaging and a native mobile app. He scoped it clearly, kept me in the loop the whole way, and hit every deadline. The communication alone set him apart. There was no guessing, no surprises, just steady progress and a finished product.
I wanted a smarter way to manage my shopping lists and to-dos, and Chris delivered exactly that. The app uses AI to categorize everything—groceries by aisle, tasks separately. What stood out was how organized he was. Clear timelines, regular updates, no chaos. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat.
