Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolScott Moss is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 12 years of experience building full-stack JavaScript products and shipping production-ready systems. He blends hands-on front-end work in Next.js and Theme UI with robust Node/Express and GraphQL back ends, frequently contributing to educational open-source repos used in popular Frontend Masters courses. A repeat founder and early-stage operator—co-founding AngularClass and Tipe and later serving in investor and operator roles—he brings product intuition alongside deep implementation skills. At times he moves between roles as builder, teacher, and investor, which gives him a pragmatic perspective on developer experience and product velocity. He’s an active OSS contributor who focuses on making APIs and developer tooling reliable and well-tested, and he’s comfortable owning both UX components and authentication/authorization systems. Prior to tech, he served as an aircraft technician in the U.S. Navy, a background that surfaces in his attention to reliability and operational rigor.
