Jason Normore is a founder and CTO with 14 years of engineering leadership and product-building experience across commerce, payments, and SaaS. He has led teams at Shopify and Clio, co-founded multiple startups (including an events/ticketing platform acquired in 2022), and now builds revenue operations and enablement tools for app builders with Mantle and Alumworks. Deep practical knowledge of payments and risk is evidenced by significant contributions to the popular Active Merchant library—implementing network tokenization and sensitive-data scrubbing across major gateways. Equally comfortable in code and strategy, he combines machine-learning research training (MSc in Computational Science) with hands-on systems and infrastructure experience. Known for shipping scalable, merchant-focused products, he often jumps into the codebase to prototype or unblock teams while steering technical vision.
