Top SchoolKevin Yokley is a software developer and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building reliable, container-first Python applications and data-backed services.

His career spans individual contributor and management roles at Oracle Textura, Lucro (CTO), and recent positions in Chicago-area companies, blending hands-on development with team and project leadership. An active open-source contributor, he has refined user-facing logic in the popular Qtile tiling window manager, demonstrating attention to small, composable tools.
