Top SchoolScott Lininger is a founder and engineering leader with 13 years of experience building consumer and developer-facing products, currently serving as CEO/CTO of Bitsbox, an EdTech startup that teaches kids to code through apps and a monthly subscription box. He combines hands-on software craft—spanning JavaScript, WebGL, Ruby, C/C++, and game development—with product and design instincts honed as a former UI designer and indie game publisher.

He’s equally comfortable shipping production systems and sketching curriculum-driven projects that make programming approachable for young learners. Outside Bitsbox he writes fiction for adults and children, reflecting a creative streak that informs both product storytelling and design. Based in Lafayette, Colorado, he brings entrepreneurial grit, multidisciplinary technical depth, and a penchant for surprising career pivots.
