Adam Hines is a senior software engineer with over a decade of experience building high-performance, interactive data visualizations across C++, TypeScript, ASP.NET and Node.js. At FactSet he has driven large migrations and tooling—porting 60k lines to TypeScript, creating custom build tools to ease transitions from CoffeeScript, and architecting rendering abstractions for multiple graphics backends. He focuses on real-time framerate and performance-sensitive code, which extends into hobby projects like games and HoloLens mixed-reality experiments; one of his games has been used as a C# training lab at FactSet for five years. An active contributor to open-source build tooling, he’s worked on turborepo backend logic and dependency handling to support Yarn PnP and optimize build graphs. Based in Longmont, Colorado, he combines hands-on individual contributor work with technical leadership and a knack for solving cross-platform graphics and deployment challenges.
