Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTopher Hunt is a Head of Engineering with 11 years of experience building data-driven web applications, specializing in Elixir/Phoenix and Ruby on Rails for complex relational domains and power-user UIs. He combines hands-on development with product-minded engineering—favoring maximally readable, "stupid-simple" code and pragmatic tool choices that prioritize maintainability over novelty. His background spans startups, consultancy, and research-oriented platforms (notably assessment and human-development systems), where he designs expressive data models and interfaces that surface nuance rather than obscure it. A longtime collaborator on projects bridging education, psychology, and social research, he’s equally comfortable leading teams and shipping code that directly supports client outcomes and end-user happiness. Unusually, he prefers minimal frontend complexity and champions solutions that a junior developer can understand and maintain.
