Top SchoolTroy Frever is a Principal Software Engineer and veteran technical leader with over four decades of hands-on development and leadership experience, currently extending salmon migration models in C++ for NOAA Fisheries. He blends a human-centric, quality-driven approach with deep expertise in Agile and eXtreme Programming, often acting as a player-coach who codes, pairs, and mentors while shaping product and organizational strategy. Troy has led and scaled engineering teams across startups and mid-sized SaaS companies—most recently overseeing ~70 engineers at Tempo after LiquidPlanner’s acquisition—and consistently ships high-quality, well-crafted software across languages and platforms. His strengths include building high-performance teams, translating between engineers and executives, and institutionalizing disciplined practices like TDD, relentless refactoring, and evolutionary design. Equally comfortable rewriting server architectures or running retrospectives, he brings an iterative, experimental mindset and a proven track record of turning product vision into operational reality. An ardent believer that motivated people make great products, he keeps his coding skills sharp while guiding teams through rapid growth and change.
