Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAri Mendelow is a founder and lead software engineer based in Seattle with a decade of experience building full-stack web products and shipping design-forward consumer-facing apps. He blends hands-on engineering at Microsoft—working on Teams telemetry and SMB growth—with entrepreneurial product work, founding Spoonjoy to simplify home cooking and co-developing a patent-pending solar water sanitization system at Sulis. Ari is comfortable at scale (designing telemetry that processes hundreds of terabytes daily) and in startup scrappier environments (raising funds, winning pitch competitions, and driving early sales). An active contributor to open-source, he improved RedwoodJS’s Storybook integration to support Vite and both TypeScript and JavaScript projects. His background in industrial engineering and formal training at 42 Silicon Valley complement a strong visual design sensibility, making him equally adept at UX, architecture, and rapid prototyping.
