Top SchoolChris Meadows is an experienced architect and engineering leader with over two decades of building high-performance, compliant systems across insurance, healthcare, finance, and education. Currently an Architect at College Board, he combines deep hands-on expertise in Elixir, Ruby, JavaScript, SQL/NoSQL, and message buses (Kafka, RabbitMQ) with a pragmatic approach to fit technology to business and regulatory needs like HIPAA and PCI.
