Top SchoolJim Graham is a Senior Development Manager with 15 years of experience leading engineering teams to deliver distributed microservices, APIs, and frontend applications, currently overseeing onboarding teams in Shopify's Retail division.

Though focused on management today, he maintains active developer instincts and a practical interest in instrumentation-style problem solving.
