Top SchoolChad Gilbert is a seasoned Software Engineer IV and hands-on architect with 23+ years building custom, scalable systems from his base in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He blends Domain-Driven Design and functional programming patterns with pragmatic cloud-native engineering on AWS and Azure to deliver elegant, high-performance code that’s easy to test and refactor. A consultant-turned-technical leader, Chad has led long-term platform evolution—introducing source control and modern practices early at CQL—and prefers pairing at the keyboard to mentoring and raising team capability. He’s comfortable across stacks (C#, .NET, SQL Server, React and more), loves Vim-fueled velocity, and still holds the top Q&A spot in the Elm language on Stack Overflow, reflecting deep curiosity and continuous learning.
