Top SchoolAshton Mackenzie is a systems developer and former network engineer with a decade of hands-on experience modernizing legacy infrastructure and security-focused environments. Trained in JavaScript, React, and Ruby on Rails at Flatiron School, he blends server- and network-level expertise (Linux, Splunk, firewalls, SQL) with practical web development skills to bring brownfield systems into the present. He currently maintains and migrates mission-critical applications for the State of Vermont, handling a mix of ColdFusion, Informix, Java, and modern tooling while prioritizing safety and performance. As a freelance consultant he has helped nonprofits digitize paper workflows and migrate legacy sites, pairing technical work with documentation and training so teams retain independence.
