Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimothy Fawcett is an instructor and seasoned full-stack engineer with 10+ years building scalable, secure software systems and teaching computer science and mathematics. He has led API design and migrations—modernizing legacy Fusebox apps to Coldbox, implementing Java RESTful services for React Native clients, and halving deployment time by rolling out Bitbucket CI/CD pipelines. Timothy blends hands-on engineering (C#, .NET, SQL Server, LAMP/RoR) with infrastructure optimization—migrating servers to Rackspace to save costs and improve reliability—and a strong compliance mindset (NIST 800-53, FERPA). He’s built diverse products from a real-time fantasy game and automated S3 backup tools to interactive Google Maps integrations for economic development. An academic by training (PhD in Computer Science) who has secured research funding and taught at multiple institutions, he brings both rigorous research experience and practical delivery discipline. Colleagues benefit from his ability to translate complex requirements into maintainable systems while mentoring teams in Agile practices and reusable front-end components.
