Top SchoolJD Cumpson is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building full-stack systems and improving developer and user experience across companies like Discord, Pinterest, and PagerDuty.

A serial debugger and protocol tinkerer, he delights in applying async, functional, and evolutionary techniques to practical problems, and actively experiments with modern stacks such as React/Redux, Elixir, and material design tooling. At PagerDuty he founded a hackday-born postmortem feature and regularly contributes to internal engineering culture; at evenings he pursues robotics, pathfinding for crypto arbitrage, and community learning from conferences like StrangeLoop and ElixirConf.
