Top SchoolDustin Heestand is a software engineer based in San Francisco with eight years of professional experience and a background that spans engineering, teaching, and finance.

A Fullstack Academy teaching fellow, he’s skilled at translating complex concepts for new engineers and has hands-on experience across data structures, databases, and modern front-end frameworks.
