Top SchoolChris Mcdermut is a product-minded engineering leader and Principal Software Architect with 11+ years building revenue-critical systems, modernizing architectures, and scaling high-performance teams across startups and public companies. He led a $250M+ checkout replatform at LegalShield, introduced TDD and reusable microservice abstractions, and has repeatedly delivered PCI/PII-compliant, high-throughput React + Node systems.
