Senior🎓
Top SchoolForrest Guest is a Senior Manager and technical leader with 11 years of focused experience delivering transaction tax and financial systems integrations across enterprise customers. He blends hands-on software architecture and coding (Python, Java, C++, Perl) with project and team leadership, repeatedly serving as the go-to troubleshooter for performance, distributed systems, and high-stakes deployments. At Avalara and Thomson Reuters he specialized in complex, large-customer solutions—building proofs of concept, advising on API integrations, and shaping product strategy for niche tax workflows like VAT and sales/use tax. Comfortable from infrastructure to application code, he pairs ERP and tax platform expertise (Workday, SAP, Oracle, ONESOURCE, Taxware) with practical database and containerization skills. Outside work he keeps his engineering instincts sharp as the station engineer for San Francisco’s community radio BFF.fm, a detail that underscores his blend of technical rigor and community-minded curiosity.
