Senior🎓
Top SchoolChad Elliott is a Senior AI Software Engineer with 14 years of experience modernizing large-scale web platforms, developer tooling, and CI/CD systems. He specializes in migrating legacy stacks to React/TypeScript, designing type-safe APIs, and building developer-first infrastructure that enables parallel feature development and faster shipping. Chad combines a deep appreciation for UX with a strong focus on developer experience—evident in his work introducing XState for complex workflows and building type-safe API mocking to decouple frontends from backends. He’s led platform efforts from shared component systems to GitLab/Helm/EKS pipelines, consistently cutting build times and infrastructure costs while improving collaboration between product and engineering. Driven by the same curiosity that had him teaching himself BASIC as a child, he excels at taking systems apart and rebuilding them to be more intuitive and resilient. Based in Kansas City, he brings both hands-on implementation skills and mentorship experience, having established engineering office hours and guided adoption of modern frontend tooling.
