Top SchoolChase Colman is a Senior Software Engineer based in Stockholm with 14 years of programming experience and over a decade focused on TypeScript/JavaScript, Solid.js, React and Electron.

An active open-source contributor, he has improved the popular LunarVim IDE layer—refactoring impatient.nvim and hardening plugin loading and completion—and optimized the Monoid font project with parallelized builds and CI/CD/web font delivery. At Legora he focuses on developer tooling, automation and untangling complex plugin/configuration ecosystems, often solving build and performance problems before they reach users.
