Top SchoolSean Chen is a seasoned software engineer and entrepreneur with over 30 years of coding experience and more than 20 years professionally, currently serving as President of The Sorrento Group in San Diego. He has built commercial products across Python, Java, Scala, TypeScript, C/C++, and Perl, spanning domains from Linux kernel networking and security compliance to digital publishing, bioinformatics, and vehicle tracking.

Sean has led teams of 20+ and run the operational plumbing—CI, test databases, and version control—since the pre-Git era, giving him deep systems and process instincts. He maintains rigorous engineering habits (high test coverage, concise methods, UML for communication) and pursues hobby languages like Lisp, Rust, Intel Assembly, and Haskell, reflecting a lifelong appetite for learning and low-level curiosity.
