Top SchoolJeffrey Kirchner is a Senior Software Engineer with over two decades of domain-focused experience building full-stack, networked behavioral economics and market simulation platforms used for academic research and publication. Based at Chapman University, he designs robust Django + Vue.js systems with PostgreSQL, WebSockets, Celery, and microservices (including PayPal integrations) to manage subject recruitment, payments, and real-effort experiments. He has supported dozens of interdisciplinary studies across behavioral economics, finance, anthropology, primatology, law & economics, and neuroeconomics, turning complex experimental protocols into production-ready, data-generating applications. Known for blending research rigor with pragmatic engineering, he often ships mobile-first, server-driven experiments that synchronize real-world data (e.g., Fitbit) with online incentive structures.
