Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Pattison is a founding software engineer and full‑stack JavaScript specialist with 10 years of experience building responsive, production-grade interfaces and data-driven tooling from San Francisco. He has deep expertise in React and React Native and a pragmatic approach to component state and architecture, whether bubbling events or adopting Redux/Flux for scale. At startups and growth-stage companies he shipped complex UIs—video and audio players, real-time collaboration indicators, rich annotation tools and performant label editors—often partnering closely with design and devices teams. He’s improved backend throughput and developer ergonomics through migrations (Prisma→TypeORM), Dataloader refactors, and async-undo patterns that optimize UX while preserving consistency. Before engineering he taught mathematics, a background that surfaces in his attention to clear abstractions and pedagogy-driven component libraries. Currently helping build Vals AI, he combines front-end craftsmanship with pragmatic system thinking to move products from prototype to reliable, user-focused features.
