Hi, I'm Norman Chang 👋
I'm a Computer Engineering graduate from Cal Poly SLO who enjoys building practical, user-focused software. I’m especially interested in full-stack development, AI-powered tools, and projects that turn messy real-life problems into simple, useful experiences.
My background spans software engineering, technical education, robotics mentorship, and hands-on technical installation work. I like building things that are not just technically functional, but actually helpful to people.
What I'm About Full-stack development with React, Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL AI-assisted applications and practical product ideas Turning personal problems into usable software projects Mentoring students and helping others grow in tech Building clean, intuitive experiences from complex workflows Tech I'm Using
