Hi, I’m Christopher Eaton, a self-starting, full-stack web and mobile app developer. I enjoy building useful products for fast-moving projects and collaborating with clients and agency teams. My recent work spans eCommerce and fintech tech, including a custom Shopify app for wine merchants, an AI-powered data room integration, and a restaurant ordering app. I’ve led multiple eCommerce sites and driven the frontend and backend development aspects of brand relaunches. I transitioned from mechanical engineering to software and have co-founded three tech startups, including a Shopify app for wine merchants, which helped me sharpen business, leadership and development skills. I love mentoring junior developers and enjoy designing scalable architectures and deploying resilient cloud-based systems.
