Mark Norgren

Principal software engineer. I build software products and the systems behind them.

I work across iOS, Android, web (React/Next.js), and cloud backends (AWS, C#/.NET), plus mobile SDKs, auth flows (OAuth2/OIDC), real-time and embedded systems, and AI-assisted engineering (LLM agents + evals).

Impact

• Reduced onboarding latency from 30-60s to sub-second by decoupling processes and moving into an event-driven flow
• Built CI/CD that scaled for all PR and supports repeatable releases including deployment and delivery
• Automated release notes with Conventional Commits, Conventional Changelogs
• Designed auth and identity flows (OAuth2/OIDC + federation)
• Built AI-assisted workflows with AI agents, evaluation frameworks, and review/testing gates
• Led contractor teams, ran weekly planning, kept cross-stack work unblocked
• Led cross-team technical decisions on modern architecture, and development practices
• Mentored engineers and set coding standards adopted across teams
