Top SchoolMichael Hopper is a seasoned software architect, instructor, and full‑stack engineer with over two decades of experience building and scaling enterprise systems across finance, virtual worlds, and retail. He blends deep technical chops in Java, C++, JavaScript, and databases (Postgres, MongoDB, Oracle) with hands‑on experience in frameworks from Rails and Spring to React and Angular. As a Ph.D.‑trained engineer and current Lead Technical Instructor at The Home Depot, he designs curricula and mentors developers while continuing to lead high‑performance architecture and tooling efforts. His background includes founding a consultancy, leading mission‑critical trading and banking platforms, and turning research‑level rigor into practical, production‑grade solutions.
