Senior🎓
Top SchoolJustin Schiff is a Staff Full-Stack Engineer based in Fresno with 12 years of hands-on experience building and scaling web applications across Rails, Django, Node, and modern front-end frameworks. Currently at BetterUp, he blends pragmatic architecture and mentorship with day-to-day coding, having previously led software architecture and internal tooling teams at Bitwise Industries. He’s comfortable across the stack—from ERDs and AWS/terraform deployments to nuanced UI work—demonstrated by contributions to the elementary/code editor improving search, keyboard shortcuts, and terminal font handling. A long-time programmer (since 1996) who values SOLID design and testable code, Justin has repeatedly accelerated delivery through starter projects and developer tooling. He pairs consulting and CTO experience with a penchant for teaching—running developer workshops on databases, testing, and OOP—and brings an engineer’s humility and curiosity to every codebase.
