Top SchoolSpencer Colton is an IAM Engineer Developer with 11 years of hands-on software experience, currently building identity and access solutions at Northwestern University. A lifelong coder who taught himself multiple languages before college, he blends full-stack skills (Node.js, React, Python, Ruby on Rails) with practical AWS and DevOps experience. Spencer has a track record of shipping productivity tools—he independently built and maintains a Chrome extension and web app that rescued his organization from a dated ITSM workflow.
