Top SchoolChristopher Koskey is a pragmatic staff software engineer and contractor based in Portland with 11 years of professional experience building secure, user-focused web platforms. He combines full‑stack craftsmanship (Node, TypeScript, React) with cloud and infrastructure work (AWS, Terraform, Tailscale) and a strong emphasis on security posture and pragmatic architecture. Christopher has a track record of bootstrapping projects and guiding teams from startup mode to mature platform operations while mentoring engineers at all levels.
