Senior🎓
Top SchoolTupshin Harper is a seasoned technology and product leader with over 17 years of hands-on experience designing and shipping scalable SaaS, consumer, and high‑traffic web systems. He blends deep engineering expertise in Java, Scala, C#, Rust, SQL and NoSQL (notably Cassandra/DSE) with strategic product leadership, having owned full life‑cycle delivery from requirements to support across roles at DataStax, Zynga, LiveJournal and others. As a Principal Platform Engineer and former Director of Field Strategy, he pairs low-level performance and reliability troubleshooting with market-aware product strategy and M&A advising. He actively explores research-level ideas in type systems, category theory, and distributed computation—work that informs pragmatic, safety-minded engineering decisions. Based in Brattleboro, Vermont, he is comfortable moving between code, architecture, and executive counsel, and has a track record of mentoring teams while resolving high‑stakes technical crises. An unusual combination of product ownership and formal research curiosity makes him adept at translating abstract systems ideas into robust, production-ready platforms.
