Kris Wedderburn

I am an automation architect focused on building full-stack systems that eliminate operational friction and bridge the gap between software and physical hardware. My engineering philosophy is simple: software should solve real-world bottlenecks, and technology is best utilized as a practical tool to automate tedious tasks rather than a trend to chase.

My background spans anthropology, chemistry, data engineering, and embedded systems, so I tend to look at infrastructure from a systems-level view. I've written ESP32 firmware for hardware validation, tuned SQL pipelines that drive investment decisions, and built headless CAD automation—work that ties messy data to real physical output. I do my best work in fast environments with high autonomy, low red tape, and a clear focus on shipping tools people actually use.
