Top SchoolAngus K is a Senior Software Engineer with 15 years of experience building scalable systems and developer-facing tooling, currently working at Databricks and contributing to media delivery at Snap. He has a strong backend and frontend pedigree from roles at Google and internships at Uber and Yelp, with notable open-source contributions to projects like fusionjs and flightjs where he improved React integrations, font loading, and core framework robustness. A University of Waterloo mathematics graduate, Angus blends rigorous problem-solving with practical engineering—authoring utilities in his just repo and even penning playful cultural pieces like "If Hemingway Wrote JavaScript" and the Official Babel Song. He’s equally comfortable refactoring legacy code, adding comprehensive tests, and shipping user-facing performance improvements, often surfacing subtle UX gains such as smarter font fallbacks and hook-based refactors.
