Summary
Benjamin Solum is a Senior Full-Stack Engineer and Front-End Architect with 13 years of experience designing accessible, high-performance web interfaces and the build systems that support them. He blends a designer’s eye with deep JavaScript expertise—specializing in the “front of the front-end”—and has shipped production React/TypeScript components, web components, and complex SPAs across enterprise platforms. Benjamin has led teams and large AEM front-end efforts, built custom tooling (Webpack loaders/plugins, Microbundle/Rollup packages), and modernized state and build strategies at companies like Oracle and VML. He’s comfortable across Node/Deno/Bun on the backend and has implemented advanced client-side capabilities such as CRDT demos with WebRTC and React Query–compatible IndexedDB layers. Based in Kansas, he pairs practical engineering leadership with a passion for UX puzzles like localization and cross-device robustness that most engineers underappreciate.
