Senior🎓
Top SchoolGregory Orton is a Staff Software Engineer with over a decade of cross-domain experience delivering CRM, CMS, ERP, SaaS platforms, mobile apps, and data pipelines from early prototypes to production. He excels at architecting new tech stacks, driving serverless and event-driven designs, and rapidly iterating to produce best-in-class user experiences while bridging product, design, and engineering.

Based in Shanghai, he combines full-stack fluency (React/Vue, Java Spring, Node, Ruby, PHP) with a pragmatic growth mindset honed in agency, startup, and enterprise environments. A detail that often surprises collaborators: he pairs deep systems thinking with frontline customer engagement, regularly running requirements discovery and UX workshops to ensure technical choices map to real user needs.
