Top SchoolCody Burchell is a seasoned software engineer with 12 years of experience building back-end systems, firmware, and full-stack web applications across startups and established media companies. Currently at PrizePicks in the DFW area, he previously maintained microservice architectures and led a major CMS refactor at Rooster Teeth, and has hands-on experience with Ruby on Rails, React/Next.js, Typescript, Prisma, C, and C#.
