Top SchoolJoseph Dechicchis is a software engineer and tech lead with a decade of experience building developer-facing infrastructure and high-performance systems across startups and big tech. A Duke CS graduate, he has shipped projects at Lyft, Apple, and Microsoft and currently drives developer experience, CI, and ephemeral environment tooling for trading infrastructure and security teams in New York. He’s known for reducing CI times by orders of magnitude, designing systems like Ivy for 10-minute ephemeral environments and SLeD to cut deployment timelines drastically, while balancing delivery speed with engineering quality. Beyond execution, he mentors teams, revamped interview and onboarding processes, and applied measurable observability and configuration practices (Terraform-managed monitors) to improve operational rigor.
