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.
