Top SchoolCarl Olson is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable systems through TDD, strong typing, and reproducible workflows. Based in Kyoto, he currently develops in ReasonML and React at Coursebase while previously contributing to backend and infrastructure work at LINE and as a consulting engineer pairing in Go, Dart, Ruby/Rails and more. He favors test-first development and has hands-on experience across JVM, functional (Elixir, ReasonML) and systems tooling (Docker, Drone).
