Top SchoolTim Ambler is a Staff Engineer with 13 years of experience building reliable, scalable full-stack web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript, React, Node, PostgreSQL, and AWS.

Tim has built end-to-end systems from cloud-based developer environments to workflow engines that manage hundreds of thousands of devices, and he values clean code and robust test suites. A published author on JavaScript frameworks, he also contributes to practical open-source tooling (e.g., enhancing the forever CLI) and has a knack for turning complex legacy logic into reusable service layers that improve team velocity. Based in Nashville, he prefers solving real-world scale and reliability challenges rather than chasing new frameworks.
