Top SchoolTom Colarusso is a Lead Frontend Engineer with 12 years of experience building reusable, testable, and extensible web applications, currently focused on Vue.js single-page apps backed by the Microsoft stack (WebAPI, MS SQL Server). He has progressed from hands-on engineering to leadership roles—including Engineering Manager and Frontend Platform Team Lead—guiding delivery, architecture, and frontend practices at scale. Tom has deep experience in real-time, event-driven systems (e.g., PubNub-powered auction features) and a strong testing culture using Mocha/Jasmine and CI-driven workflows. He has also designed public RESTful APIs and OAuth 2.0 integrations, and has driven tooling and deployment strategies across Umbraco Cloud, Azure, and TFS/DevOps pipelines. Based in Buffalo, NY, he blends pragmatic full-stack skills with mentoring and platform thinking to help teams ship resilient web products. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of modernizing legacy systems and creating internal tools that accelerate delivery for large engineering groups.
