Top SchoolRichard Goforth is a Principal Solutions Engineer at GitHub with nine years of focused experience in solutions and architecture and a longer career background in .NET and enterprise software.

Richard’s career includes senior architect and consultant roles where he led cross-industry implementations and rapid crisis-driven integrations, and he brings hands-on product and process sensibilities from both engineering and teaching roles.
