Top SchoolReed Cowan is a Founding Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building secure, cloud-native systems and user-facing tooling across startups and enterprise teams. He’s shipped backend services in Go with Postgres, implemented RBAC, audit logs, OAuth2/Auth0 and billing workflows, and used Terraform, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes and OpenShift to automate infrastructure. Comfortable across the full stack, Reed pairs TypeScript/React frontends with robust API design to make subscription and security workflows transparent and auditable. He brings a practical security-first mindset from roles at PMG and Red Hat and a founder’s appetite for shipping product quickly and reliably. Outside engineering he’s an outgoing, people-focused volunteer who channels his curiosity and empathy into efforts that support children and build community.
