Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlan Watson is a Software Engineer II with nine years of multidisciplinary experience, blending front-end focus and backend systems work across React, Vue, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Go, and Ruby on Rails. Based in Phoenix, he’s shipped accessible learning tools used by millions at Zearn, built automation and Python-based APIs for music tech at Beast Music A.I., and now contributes to financial software at Inspira Financial. A former hip-hop instructor and NYU administrator, he brings uncommon strengths in teaching, process automation, and product-facing documentation—skills that surface in his automation projects and mentoring roles. Comfortable across the stack and cloud (AWS) and curious about disruptive tech like Solidity, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a creative background in music and performance. His GitHub reflects a dancer-turned-developer ethos: an emphasis on front-end polish, test-driven practices, and automation that streamlines real-world workflows.
