Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Hays is a Creative Technologist and senior front-end engineer with 11 years of professional experience and 20+ years of hands-on web craft, blending design sensibility with engineering rigor. He builds high-performance, motion-rich experiences—shipping everything from the rendering engine that powers millions of Kajabi pages to award-winning portfolio experiments (GSAP Site of the Day, Awwwards Honorable Mention). Comfortable across React, TypeScript, Svelte, GSAP, Three.js and real-time WebSocket systems, he has re-architected live installations for browser delivery and created visual editors that empower non-technical users. His background includes large-scale interactive campaigns for studios and automotive brands, a history of production-grade gamified experiences, and a knack for turning playful prototypes into robust platform features. Based in Los Angeles, Ben pairs product-minded engineering with a designer’s eye, often surfacing surprising “magical” micro-interactions that make complex interfaces feel effortless.
