Top SchoolKalob Porter is a Lead Software Engineer and founder with 11 years of engineering experience and 8+ years shipping product work across startups, from inception through maintenance. He’s a true full‑stack practitioner comfortable across frontend, backend, CI/CD and DevOps, primarily in JS/TS (React/Node/Express) but with production experience in Go, Python, Dart, Java, C#, and Ruby. At companies like Decimal and Swarm he architected core systems—APIs, permissions, audit logging, event/webhook frameworks—and led teams delivering software at massive scale. He combines hands‑on coding (“builds & breaks things”) with mentorship and people management, routinely coaching senior and junior engineers. Now based in Indiana, he balances operational leadership at 120Water with founding The Tattr Company, demonstrating both product-minded entrepreneurship and deep implementation skill. Colleagues describe him as an architect who makes pragmatic early decisions that keep fast‑moving startups sustainable as they scale.
