Top SchoolEric Yurko is a technical writer and former software engineer with a decade of experience building curriculum, documentation, and backend systems—primarily in Python and JavaScript—focused on computer science education and equitable access. At Google he led CS1 and bridge-curriculum efforts that helped community college students transition to four-year programs and redesigned internship experiences to support remote work during the pandemic. He combines hands-on coding experience with user-centered design, needfinding, and prototyping to turn educational goals into practical learning products.

Based in Bellevue, WA, he currently authors documentation for Vertex AI and Gemini models, applying his engineering background to explain cutting-edge ML tooling. Outside formal roles he’s drawn to graph theory, data analytics, and building tools that lower barriers into CS.
