Edward Cheney is an operations-focused software leader with 12 years of engineering experience and a 15-year JavaScript pedigree, currently leading the API Gateway program at Horizon Industries while holding an active TS/SCI clearance. He blends full-stack expertise in Node.js and TypeScript with hands-on contributions to open-source tooling—extending Atom-Beautify to support niche templating languages—and a track record of shipping revenue-driving web experimentation at Travelocity and enterprise features at Bank of America. A former US Army Warrant Officer and current Chief Warrant Officer 3 in the Reserves, he brings disciplined, security-conscious project leadership from military signals work into civilian software delivery. Equally comfortable authoring SQL stored procedures for SaaS back-ends as mentoring front-end teams, he focuses on practical, testable solutions that scale in both government and commercial environments.
