Top SchoolMarc Harter is a Principal Software Engineer with 15+ years building full-stack web applications, distributed systems, and developer tooling with a special affinity for JavaScript and Node.js. He has deep experience across databases, messaging, high-availability systems, UX and OS-level concerns, and has architected production apps from the ground up using PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, and modern front-end frameworks. An early adopter of Node.js, Marc co-authored Node.js in Action and Node.js in Practice, has participated in language design discussions, and has served as a technical reviewer on multiple web and Node books. His open-source work spans both front-end UX (humane-js) and back-end systems (zeromq.node, connect-redis), including low-level fixes and performance testing for ZeroMQ bindings. Based in Eau Claire, WI, he balances hands-on engineering and mentoring, and brings an uncommon mix of systems-level debugging and polished user-facing design to every project. Outside of code, he’s a long-time web enthusiast who started building sites in the 1990s and still enjoys teaching and growing teams.
