Top SchoolMike Hogarth is a standards-aware full-stack director with 14 years’ experience building and modernizing web applications, shifting from a C#/ASP.NET background to focus on open-source stacks like Ruby on Rails and Node.js.

He has led teams and migrated legacy systems for enterprise customers, contributed refactors and tests to notable OSS like the chewy Elasticsearch Ruby framework, and authored several Ruby/JS libraries such as Duckpond and Range Validator. Known for hand-coding rather than WYSIWYG tools, he is particularly interested in information systems, data modeling and software design patterns, bringing both imagination and pragmatism to complex requirements.
