Hello World — I'm Chris “Topher” Young, a software engineering, design, and product leader with a passion for creating exceptional web-based applications, products, and experiences.
Currently looking for my next big opportunity. Previously served at Acorns, FTX.
My journey began with a passion for blending my Computer Science background with compelling, innovative design, ultimately leading me to becoming a dynamic engineer and product leader who can seamlessly integrate design, technology, and business.
At the core of my methodology is a focus on engineering abstraction, simplicity, and reusability by strategic use of modern technology tools, custom-built design systems, and optimized build processes.
While my 10 years of expertise lies in fintech, I have extensive experience in the agency space, building award-winning solutions for an array of clients ranging from non-profits to startups to enterprise-level organizations.
