Top SchoolGrayson Hooper is a software engineer with 12 years of experience building backend systems, observability features, and security-focused tooling across companies from Lastline to Google. He specializes in languages, compilers, and systems work—delivering practical prototypes (language work and AI side projects) and production-ready services like Error Reporting enhancements and log pattern detection for Cloud Logging. At Lastline he accelerated binary analysis and sandboxing workflows, and at Google he simplified complex backends, reduced on-call toil, and led performance-driven redesigns. Based in Pittsburgh, he approaches projects as learning opportunities, favoring pragmatic, sometimes scrappy implementations that prioritize insight and iteration over polish.
