Top SchoolChase Livingston is a Sales Engineer with 12 years of experience building and delivering cloud and WordPress-based solutions, now based in Greenville, SC. He has led systems engineering teams and client delivery at agencies like 10up and Fueled, shaping technical strategy, infrastructure planning, and large-scale migrations for enterprise clients.

He brings a subtle bias toward maintainability—opting for filters and flexible patterns over rigid settings—evident in his open-source contributions.
