Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohn Mccambridge is a full-stack Curriculum Engineer based in Austin, TX with eight years of professional experience building web applications, developer curriculum, and educational tooling. After a multi-year stint at Apple he transitioned into coding and education, creating full-stack and advanced backend coursework used across universities and bootcamps and now shaping developer learning at MongoDB. He ships practical front-end improvements and secure server work—his open-source contributions include UX and security enhancements to the popular code-server project (VS Code in the browser). Comfortable across React, TypeScript, Node/Express, GraphQL, and SQL/NoSQL stacks, he combines bug-fixing discipline with a taste for new frameworks and developer experience. Colleagues describe him as both people-oriented and detail-focused: he enjoys meeting new engineers while obsessing over APIs, tests, and build pipelines. That mix of pedagogy, product-minded engineering, and hands-on open-source work makes him effective at turning complex concepts into usable learning and production software.
