Top SchoolMalcolm Diggs is a seasoned software engineer and serial founder with over two decades of experience building products and teams, currently founding and hosting JournalClub.io, a daily newsletter and podcast that translates academic research into plain English. He combines full-stack engineering expertise in TypeScript, Rust, and Python with hands-on leadership—from early technical hire and Head of Engineering roles to engineering management at organizations like Mozilla. Malcolm shipped early MVPs across industries (food delivery, fitness marketplaces, VOD) and scaled teams and systems that led to acquisitions and major course enrollments, including a Node.js Master Class with over half a million students. As lead maintainer of LettermanIO and author of Newsletters at Scale, he blends product-minded engineering with content creation and developer advocacy. Based in Oakland, he’s spent years as a digital nomad, which informs a pragmatic, remote-first approach to building teams and developer tools.
