Top SchoolChristopher Thornton is an IT manager and computational biologist with 11 years of cross-disciplinary experience building data pipelines, managing infrastructure, and turning complex scientific datasets into actionable insights.

At Tila Construction he developed a client-server app that automated finance reconciliation and saved the CFO tens of hours monthly, while prior academic roles produced open-source bioinformatics tools and two peer-reviewed publications. Comfortable bridging lab bench to production systems, he brings a pragmatic mix of lab protocol optimization, software development, and IT leadership based in Salt Lake City.
