Top SchoolCrow Norlander is a Principal Software Development Engineer with 11 years of experience, currently leading work on Esri’s Field Maps Designer and shared platform components. He blends deep front-end and systems experience from a career that moved from creative, experimental projects (AR/VR, 360º video, computer vision) to product-led engineering and platform design. Previously he led research and innovation at Undertone, shipping cross-disciplinary prototypes and serving as product owner for in-app offerings while mentoring small interdisciplinary teams.
