Manasquan, New Jersey, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKenneth Tilton is a principal software architect and founder with 16+ years of experience building high-performance, pragmatic systems—from enterprise BPMN engines and data-heavy backends to compact functional reactive UI frameworks. He is the creator of Matrix, a Cells-powered reactive framework implemented in Common Lisp, JavaScript and ClojureScript, and has twice written large codebases end-to-end (including a 100kLOC mix of Lisp, JS, SQL and HTML/CSS). Kenneth blends deep language-level thinking with product focus—rewriting legacy systems, rescuing failing projects, and shipping fast web clients demonstrated by a 170-line MatrixJS TodoMVC example. He also applies his engineering skills to education technology, evolving Tilton’s Algebra into an award-recognized LMS and classroom pilot. Based in New Jersey, he is equally at home as a hands-on architect, lead developer, or interim CTO, and he favors elegant language-centric solutions that reduce complexity rather than papering over it.
