Top SchoolNickolas Bokoski is a Senior Software Engineer II with seven years of experience building full-stack systems and a clear preference for back-end architecture and scalable infrastructure.

His background blends deep MySQL/DBA experience, ColdFusion/Java/Python engineering, and automation tooling for large-scale operations.
