Senior🎓
Top SchoolCorey Watts is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building large-scale PHP full‑stack applications and supporting the DevOps side of production systems. He’s spent the last several years at Amazon and previously engineered complex, high‑performance systems—from a 2.5M‑line innovation platform with Backbone/Yii and Redis PubSub to custom payment and EDI billing platforms. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs hands-on PHP and JS development with server administration and AWS operations, and has led small cross-functional teams to deliver tight‑deadline analytics and UX work. Outside of work he contributes to open source, enjoys Scotch whisky, and scouts new food and drink spots around the Bay Area—bringing a pragmatic, user-focused sensibility shaped by both ops and product experience.
