Top SchoolMike Kibbel is a Senior Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building high-performance web and mobile financial applications, currently focused on TypeScript, React, Next.js and GraphQL at Thrivent. He brings deep full-stack expertise including Python/Django backends and a history of architecting authentication flows with OIDC/Keycloak and Okta.
