Ross Northrup
Front-end Developer
Ross jumped on board here at Bonfire Studios in October of 2020 as one of our developers. He grew up on the north shore of Boston, studied English at UMASS in Amherst, and has formerly worked in education. Through recommendation from a friend, Ross began coding in his time off and has been hacking away at it ever since. When Ross isn’t staring into a backlit screen, he enjoys watching and performing live comedy, golfing, podcasting and spending time with the dog.
