✦ About Me

The person behind the code

I'm Christopher Norton, a multi-disciplinary engineer who lives at the intersection of systems thinking and creative problem-solving. I got my B.S. in Engineering and since then I've been obsessed with building things that actually work at scale — whether that's a cloud pipeline, an embedded hardware solution, or a fully automated marketing funnel. When I'm not shipping code I'm probably deep in an anime arc, tinkering with electronics, or traveling with family.
