Top SchoolScott Fleener is a Senior Software Engineer based in Amherst, MA, with a background in Android app development, data processing pipelines, and a strong interest in embedded systems and computer architecture. Over a decade of experience includes multi-team engineering at Google—shipping major features for Google Messages and Photos, modernizing build/release pipelines, and leading a Dagger migration—and recent roles at Buoyant and Dropbox.

Comfortable collaborating with external partners like carriers and device manufacturers, he has repeatedly driven modernization efforts that reduced technical debt without disrupting delivery. Scott’s academic foundation in computer science, mathematics, and statistics complements his practical expertise and informs his interest in embedded/architecture problems that sit between hardware and application software.
