Allison Colyer is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, student-focused and high-traffic systems. She has driven architecture and migrations at scale—consolidating legacy microservices for millions of users, building event-driven AWS backends, and improving reliability through SLOs and operational runbooks. At Top Hat she led the Dart/Flutter stack for an organic chemistry app used in 600+ universities, inventing a canonicalization algorithm and performance optimizations that served hundreds of thousands of learners. Comfortable across frontend and backend domains, she pairs a chemical engineering background with strong math instincts to translate complex domain problems into elegant software. Outside work she plays clarinet and hikes — hobbies that mirror her blend of precision and curiosity.
