Top SchoolMichelle Chan is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with 11 years of experience building resilient back-end systems for finance and media.

Michelle has a track record of preventing large-scale production incidents and improving performance and test coverage at Morgan Stanley, and she pairs hands-on engineering with remote team leadership and agile design facilitation. Curious about cybersecurity and networking, she’s expanding her expertise beyond backend systems and has also presented on Morphir and FDC3 integrations for FINOS, demonstrating an appetite for combining open standards with practical product engineering.
