Top SchoolBernard Kitchens is a software engineer at GitHub with nine years of experience building admin and enterprise-facing tools used by millions, blending front-end and back-end skills in JavaScript/Node, Ruby on Rails, and C#. He shipped GitHub Enterprise’s verifiable domains feature, led efforts to reduce technical debt across the codebase, and regularly pair-programs with senior engineers to accelerate knowledge transfer and improve DevOps workflows. At npm he delivered a self-unpublish feature that cut support tickets by roughly 100 per week and built microservice API mocks to enable test-driven development.
