Top SchoolKevin Fitzpatrick is a Senior Full Stack Engineer based in Berkeley with over two decades of software experience and 11 years focused on modern web and SaaS products. He blends hands-on front-end work—contributing UI, data visualization and routing improvements to high-profile open-source projects like InfluxDB and Chronograf—with backend and deployment know-how, including API refactors and build/system optimizations. Kevin has led and grown engineering teams, launched SaaS offerings, and accelerated delivery pipelines (cutting deploy times from 90 to 20 minutes) while mentoring engineers and improving developer workflows. Currently consulting and building at Forj and on freelance engagements, he moves fluidly between TypeScript/tRPC, React/Next.js, and Ruby on Rails, and often introduces testing and process improvements into legacy stacks. A background in digital art and anthropology informs his pragmatic but user-centered approach to product and UI design.
