Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Junya is a Principal Web Engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack web and mobile applications from database schema design to polished React and React Native front ends. Based in Torrance, CA, he has led frontend architecture and teams at companies like Verishop, Vivrelle, and StartPlaying, shipping features, data pipelines, and internal tools that saved significant manual effort. Ben blends hands-on engineering with cross-functional leadership—mentoring engineers, guiding product teams on SSR and GraphQL, and running experiments in analytics and ETL. He’s comfortable in both JavaScript/TypeScript and some native Android work, and he frequently presents at meetups, combining technical talks with an engaging, improvisational stage presence. Outside of work he pursues SCUBA, surfing, game design analysis, and even brings a performer’s sensibility to engineering, which helps him communicate complex ideas to diverse audiences.
