Top SchoolDolan Murvihill is a Co-founder and CTO with 11 years of experience building secure, reliable software for civic technology and election infrastructure. Based in Portland, he blends full-stack engineering and leadership to deliver production systems—most notably backend services and audit tooling used for overseas ballot handling at Voatz. He’s led teams and shipped a proprietary CMS using Rust, Vue, and cloud infrastructure with Terraform/Terragrunt, and previously built low-latency ad tech systems and real-time bidding engines. An active open-source contributor, Dolan improved BigInt generation and property-based testing in the widely used ScalaCheck project, surfacing attention to correctness and edge cases. Driven by a mission to expand the franchise and empower voters, he pairs technical rigor with product-first thinking to make auditable systems that build public trust. An uncommon strength is his track record of turning election-grade research and prototypes into operational services used in real-world federal contexts.
