Senior🎓
Top SchoolJ Flynn is a Senior Software Engineer and Drupal technical architect based in Chicago with 11 years of experience building back-end systems, custom Drupal modules, and progressively decoupled apps that integrate React. Comfortable across PHP, HTML, CSS/SASS, and JavaScript, he’s led technical teams at agencies and consults freelance while currently shaping products at HeroDevs. An active community organizer and speaker—co-organizing MidCamp and Drupal Chicago and presenting widely—he pairs hands-on coding with public advocacy for mental health through OSMI. He brings a pragmatic focus on clean, cache-friendly implementations and exportable configuration, and has a knack for bridging traditional CMS workflows with modern front-end patterns. An unexpected detail: beyond engineering, he’s hosted a comedy podcast and founded a local coworking space, reflecting strong community-building instincts.
