What happens when the engineer who wrote much of ISN's original code walks back in the door 24 years after he helped start it? Chris Schuld co-founded Inspection Support Network in 2002 with Dan Huber. ISN grew into one of the most widely used software platforms in home inspection, and Porch Group acquired it in 2017. Chris left Porch in 2021, started several tech companies, and then oversaw U.S. engineering teams at Wix. In July 2026 he returned as Director of Engineering for Porch's inspection division, leading ISN, Home Inspector Pro, Palmtech, America's Call Center, Guardian Inspection Payments, and Inspector Services Group.
