Top SchoolKevin Johnson is a Senior Software Developer based in Old Toronto with six years of hands-on experience building scalable web and backend systems.

A functional-programming enthusiast with a particular affinity for Standard ML, Kevin pairs language-level curiosity with practical expertise across AWS, Docker, Rails, React, and observability tooling like Grafana. He thrives in high-performance teams, emphasizes hard work and mentorship, and often tackles cost optimization and resilience as first-class concerns. Notably, his background spans both full-stack delivery and low-level design choices, blending hands-on coding with infrastructure ownership and on-call responsibility.
