Top SchoolForest Leigh is a Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead Manager in Boulder with 9+ years of experience building Python-driven, production-ready systems and leading medium to large distributed teams. He excels at turning prototypes into deployed capabilities—having delivered Python MVPs that cut timelines by months and modernized legacy simulation tools into containerized Linux frameworks.
