Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimothy Poon is an architect-level developer and managing editor with 15 years of experience building scalable web systems, distributed crawlers, and responsive frontends across Python, PHP, and C++. He has led large engineering efforts—moving services to fanout architectures, implementing task queues with Celery/RabbitMQ, and deploying CDN-backed widget platforms that support legacy browsers down to IE6. Equally comfortable writing and editing, he combines technical journalism and product storytelling with hands-on engineering, having interviewed creators while also shipping machine-learning–assisted crawlers and developer-friendly Vagrant/Puppet deployments. Based in Dallas, he pairs deep systems knowledge (NoSQL, Redis, Cassandra, Solr) with UI and design chops (HTML/CSS/JS, Photoshop), and a knack for translating research-level ideas like automata and language analysis into practical production features. An unusual blend of coder, critic, and editor, he says he “architects things for the Internet and writes things for movies,” reflecting a creative approach to technical problems.
