Top SchoolScott Agnew is a Staff Software Engineer with nine years of professional experience building scalable, production-grade backend systems and leading teams through architecture and product-focused initiatives.

He writes clear RFCs and design docs, mentors engineers on shared platform concerns like auth and messaging, and has a knack for turning small experiments—like an AI-driven ID validation prototype—into visible company wins. Comfortable across cloud-native, serverless, and legacy migrations, Scott blends hands-on implementation with product discovery and measurable business impact from Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
