Gabriela Aquino is a Senior Software Engineer in Los Angeles with five years of experience building performant, user-centered web applications primarily using React. She is an active open-source contributor—most notably to Reactime, a time-travel debugging and performance-monitoring dev tool—where she implemented tab-following features, UI/background script work, and performance zoom fixes; that work helped her team earn a React Open Source Awards nomination in 2020. At OS Labs she leveraged React-Fiber to extend dev-tool support for Hooks, Context and Router, converted legacy codebases to TypeScript, and instituted TDD with Jest and Enzyme to improve maintainability and onboarding. Now at FASHIONPHILE she applies a client-first mindset to ship scalable, user-friendly features and builds D3 visualizations that balance performance and clarity. Her background in cinematography and study abroad in Paris gives her a visual, human-centered sensibility that informs her front-end design and data visualization decisions.
