Top SchoolBen Emdon is an Engineering Manager at Stripe who builds developer productivity platforms that let engineers move fast without sacrificing quality. He leads the Code team working on extreme Git scalability and some of the fastest code-review systems in the industry, after driving features like stacked pull requests and intelligent auto-merge that materially reduced time-to-production. Previously at GitHub he scaled write-heavy surfaces and shipped keyboard-driven UX accelerators, bringing both backend reliability and developer-facing polish to platform tooling.
