Corey McCarty — Staff Software Engineer
$ cat about.md
I've spent twelve years being the person a system can't run without, holding the whole thing in my head and building things so growth never requires tearing them down and starting over. Deep technical ownership and leadership have never felt like two different jobs to me.
Outside of work, I'm married with kids who keep life full, and I spend what's left of my time on this site, side projects, and mentoring through Code Connector.
