Top SchoolJordan Denison is a founder and senior backend engineer with 18+ years of experience building API-driven, production-grade services focused on reliability, observability, and pragmatic tradeoffs. He specializes in TypeScript/Node.js with PostgreSQL and Redis, and has repeatedly designed systems to handle real-world failure modes, low-latency constraints, and safe operational rollouts. As founder of RT Ninja he built a real-time moderation SaaS for Discord and Twitch, operating an AWS stack with EKS, Istio mTLS, gRPC, and Redis sharding patterns that avoid reconnection storms. He’s led architecture and performance at companies scaling from hundreds of thousands to millions of users and improved observability and cost profiles by replacing CloudWatch with Prometheus/Loki/Grafana. Jordan excels where backend engineering meets production operations—designing clear system boundaries, predictable performance, and deployable foundations teams can run confidently. Outside work he’s a father of four who keeps sharp by building and operating real systems and committing to daily strength training and walking.
