Top SchoolTim Chin is a software engineer with a decade of experience building user-focused web applications at startups and large companies, including Reddit and IBM.

His background as a trained violinist and former professional musician informs a disciplined, creative approach to problem solving and team collaboration. At Zorroa and Boon AI he helped define frontend best practices and patterns that kept delivery fast under tight startup deadlines.
