Summary
👤
SeniorAaron Royer is a product-minded senior software engineer with 15 years of full-stack experience, currently building user-focused systems at Airbnb from his base in Seattle. He blends front-end craftsmanship (React, Redux, TypeScript) with backend fluency (Rails, PostgreSQL, Node.js) to deliver polished, scalable user experiences across consumer and enterprise products. At Solvvy he led end-user frontend architecture, creating an ML-driven, plugin-enabled self-service platform that became a key product differentiator. His background includes driving measurable growth and performance improvements—shipping features that boosted marketplace activity and rearchitecting APIs to be an order of magnitude faster. A hands-on technical leader and mentor, he consistently pairs pragmatic engineering with product intuition to move teams forward. He’s equally comfortable optimizing critical backend flows and shaping UX details, which makes him a rare engineer who elevates both technical health and customer-facing polish.
