Top SchoolTed Armstrong is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building and shipping production systems across high-growth startups and manufacturing tech. He specializes in TypeScript, Node/NestJS, React, PostgreSQL, and cloud IaC (AWS/GCP/Azure), and has led squads through 0→1 projects and large-scale migrations while owning on-call reliability. At 6 River he drove API-first, event-driven services and behavior-tree workflows deployed to hundreds of sites and thousands of robots; at LightForce and Dandy he modernized legacy services and built MES platforms that improved technician throughput. Scrappy and outcome-focused, he combines hands-on dev work with tech lead responsibilities—mentoring engineers, establishing design review practices, and reducing tech debt through pragmatic migrations. Based in Portland, Maine, he pairs manufacturing-domain experience with a robotics-informed CS background from WPI, which helps him bridge embedded thinking and cloud-native architectures.
