Top SchoolScott Raney is a social engineer and lead software developer with eight years of contemporary experience and a decades-spanning background in technology leadership dating back to a presidency at MetaCard Corporation. Based in Boulder, Colorado, he combines a PhD in cognitive psychology with a BA in computer science, applying human-centered insight to software design and adversarial-thinking around identity, persuasion, and systems.
