Top SchoolJoey Slater is a Principal Software Engineer and technology leader with a decade of experience building scalable front-end platforms, developer tooling, and product-focused engineering teams across Atlassian and Microsoft. He combines hands-on contributions to high-profile open-source projects—notably core changes to the parcel bundler around CSS loading, prefetching, and build-graph refactors—with product leadership shipping large internal platforms and sustainability features. At Atlassian he led talent and developer-infrastructure efforts; at Microsoft he drove front-end build performance improvements and sustainability product features that reduced CI times dramatically and enabled emission tracking at scale. He pairs an interactive-intelligence CS master’s and an MBA with strengths in UX-driven engineering, cross-geography team coordination, and mentoring engineers into product-minded builders. Joey’s background in portal modernization and measurable cost-saving projects (from Union Pacific to enterprise commerce tools) shows a pragmatic focus on user impact and operational efficiency.
