Top SchoolMickey Yawn is a seasoned technology leader and Director of Engineering with over a decade of experience building and scaling engineering organizations across fintech and media. Currently leading product engineering at Polygon.io, he brings a track record of senior roles at Chipper Cash, Greenlight, and a long tenure at Turner where he progressed from senior developer to director-level technology and architecture positions. He blends hands-on engineering (Node.js, Rails, Mongo, MySQL) with strategic delivery, enabling teams to ship reliable, data-driven platforms for high-growth and enterprise contexts. Known for bridging product and engineering, he excels at turning complex requirements into practical, scalable systems while mentoring engineering leaders.
